Best E-Liquid Manufacturer - Europe years has diversified into a number of areas, including e-liquids. We spoke to Dario Marenic to Having become active in the selling of electronic cigarettes and manufacturing e-liquids since 2008, ELDA has been developing rapidly, keeping pace with the fast rise of e-cigarette industry, and has grown in a short amount of time from a small family company into one of the leaders in the
world market. Dario explores how the firm came to move into the market and the steps it has taken to achieve the market leading success it enjoys today.
“When ELDA first moved into the e-cigarette market, market demands become so much complex and sometimes we need to make more than 50 formulas to hit just the right
one. Our team of experts every day needs to do extensive testing. After the establishment of the new recipes, our chemical engineers need to make the samples that sometimes must ripe for 30 days. After the ripening process, we carry out multiple tests on these samples, and only the best of them will be chosen. Just like in the selection process, detailed procedures are undertaken in all other areas of our business. Nothing goes out from the company until it is completely planned and researched.” Looking ahead, this innovative, quality focused approach will remain central to achieving even greater success for ELDA, as Dario concludes.
“With regards to the future, our plan is to invest in new technology and new production facilities. Once we have achieved this we will explore
even more exciting new avenues. This is particularly vital as the electronic cigarette market is constantly changing and the requirements of our end users have become more demanding. Customers want more complex and unique flavours, and as such we have lunched premium line made of carefully selected fruity and creamy flavours with higher percentage of different aromas and higher percentage of VG base. “All of our liquids taste great, produce huge vapor clouds and have eye-catching packaging. Our overall goal is to predict the way that the market will be developing and every moment be at least one step ahead of our competitors in order to offer our business partners and end customers the most innovative products, which are of the highest possible quality.”

Taking Telecoms To The Next Level prices, KWAK Telecom and its CEO, Josef Bruckschloegl keep building an impressive success story KWAK Telecom in Nikosia, Cyprus is a global market leader in the segment of premium rate number services and acts as a micropayment provider for telecom and media companies. If you ever asked who is providing the telephone number for a TV show, there’s a good chance in more than 100 countries that it’s KWAK. The telecom market is suffering, and media companies struggle to sell advertising. Premium rate services - like TV-voting - became a vital revenue-stream for many. KWAK Telecom recognised this market need early and gained revenue, profits and influence during the last years at an impressive growth rate. Josef Bruckschloegl, KWAK’s CEO, is at the very centre of this development. The Oxford-educated manager has an impressive career track record and was at the forefront of innovation since a very young age. At the age of 21, he was the Director of E-Commerce at Telecom Austria, disrupting the way in which retail telecom services are sold and procured. Chief Business Consultant at Deutsche Post at the age of 26. Disrupting the way corporate garment is processed on global scale. Since 2009, Josef Bruckschloegl has been with KWAK Telecom. He joined the company as Vice President Carrier Relations, was promoted COO one year later
and since 2013, he’s leading the firm as its Chief Executive. During his tenure, revenue tripled, and annual profits gained more than 600 percent. Current international sales of the boutique firm contribute an equivalent of approximately 1.4 percent of all exports of Cyprus, a European Union country. KWAK’s net yield is a multiple of telecom’s industry average. Additionally, the private company is solely cash flow financed and has not a dime bank debt.
Despite being a boutique firm KWAK Telecom became vital to the value creation for many companies within telecom and media industry around the world. Most of these companies are a multiple of KWAK’s size in terms of manpower and revenue but many of them would struggle without the continuous revenue streams and the boost of margin provided by the Cypriot firm. Considering Mr. Bruckschloegl’s impact on telecom and media markets, his academic contribu-
tions in the fields of leadership and strategy and his global network of partners and friends we are proud award him the title “Most Influential CEO in Telecommunications 2019.”
