Philip Morris International has announced a $232 million factory expansion in Kentucky. The expansion will boost production of nicotine pouches that the company says are part of its strategy for a “smoke-free future.” The dissolvable pouches fit between a person's lip and gums to slowly release nicotine.
Philip Morris International on Tuesday announced a $232 million expansion at a Kentucky factory to boost production of nicotine pouches tied to its strategy toward a “smoke-free future.”
The expansion at the Swedish Match plant in Owensboro is expected to add 450 jobs, boosting the factory’s workforce by about 40% to help meet growing demand for smoke-free products, the company said. The factory in western Kentucky produces ZYN nicotine pouches, a brand that’s part of a growing segment of nicotine-based alternatives for consumers switching from cigarettes or other tobacco products.“We are accelerating our mission toward a smoke-free future, working with our U.S.
ZYN is marketed by Philip Morris International to adult tobacco users. Although it doesn’t contain tobacco, U.S. regulators still treat it as a tobacco product. Because pouches generally don’t contain tobacco, there’s no spitting, unlike with older products such as chew and snuff.
