- A1 Group, Inc. (AWON) operates as a diversified holding company focused on product development, consumer goods, and digital services in the United States. The company, founded in 2012 and headquartered in Carlsbad, California, previously specialized in electronic cigarettes including disposable and rechargeable vaporizers with varied flavors, nicotine strengths, puff counts, and accessories sold via its website and retail kiosks; it offers battery-powered products enabling nicotine vapor inhalation without smoke, tar, ash, or carbon monoxide. Through its subsidiary AICPG, LLC, A1 Group engages in video production, event management, and AI-powered consumer product solutions blending digital innovation with manufacturing. It has pursued oxygen-enhanced water products for health and wellness, incorporating proprietary high-oxygen formulations in recycled plastic bottles to enhance stamina, focus, and recovery, alongside regional co-packing services.
In April 2024, A1 Group completed the acquisition of AICPG, LLC, via a share exchange issuing 740 million common shares, establishing it as a wholly owned subsidiary and effecting a change of control under new leadership led by CEO Ruben Padilla; this strategic shift pivots the company toward revenue-generating operations in digital media and AI-driven consumer products. Earlier efforts included a 2023 letter of intent to acquire NYSW Beverage Brands assets for oxygenated water expansion following prior Oxigen Water inventory and bottling equipment purchases, alongside plans for nationwide consumer product joint ventures and bottling operations. The company trades on OTC Pink Sheets, targeting cigarette smokers, health-conscious consumers, and business clients across U.S. regions with no disclosed subsidiaries beyond AICPG or parent relationships.
