HARTLAND, WI (WSAU) One of the nation's largest electronic cigarette suppliers is out of business. Johnson Creek Enterprises made the flavorings used in many e-cigs.
The Hartland-based company posted on Twitter Monday that they were going out of business effective Tuesday. On the company website, chief operating officer Heidi Braun apologized to customers, saying the company is sorry to have failed them and adding they're hoping to come out of bankruptcy and resume operations.
The company was founded in 2008 and at its peak had over 60 employees in a 52,000-foot industrial park.
Johnson Creek Enterprises’ flavorings were used in the popular Blu e-cigarettes, manufactured by Lorillard Inc. The company also sold its flavorings on-line and in some vaping and smoke shops.
The company said in July that new federal rules for e-cigs would force them out of business. The Food and Drug Administration had delayed implementing the rules, but also had not given guidance to e-cigarette manufacturers about what changes to expect in the future.
