Another milestone towards a smoke-free world – the development of BAT’s new production hall in Pécs has reached an important stage
BAT Hungary celebrated the second half of the construction of its new, high-tech production hall in Pécs with a groundbreaking ceremony. The nearly 60 billion forint investment is not only a significant step forward for the company, but also an important milestone in the industrial development of the region, and a clear demonstration of BAT’s commitment to reducing the health impacts of its operations and contributing to a smoke-free world.
The 7,500 square meter facility will significantly increase BAT’s production capacity for tobacco-free nicotine pads, offering adult smokers the opportunity to choose a scientifically based, less harmful* alternative. The development will create 450 new jobs in the region and further strengthen the strategic role of the Pécs factory in BAT’s global supply chain. The products made here are currently exported to more than 40 countries worldwide.
“This investment is more than just a capacity expansion, it further strengthens the key role of Hungarian manufacturing in achieving a smoke-free world. BAT aims to provide 50 million adult consumers worldwide with less harmful* alternatives by 2030,”
– said Tamás Vargek, Managing Director of BAT Hungary.
The strategic investment will not only create new jobs in the Pécs region, but will also strengthen Hungary’s industrial competitiveness through state-of-the-art technologies and strong export potential. “The plant’s manufacturing technology represents the highest level of innovation. Our goal is to make the Pécs factory a true center of excellence within BAT’s global network,” said Shabab Ali, Production Director of BAT Hungary.
As one of the largest employers in the region, BAT Hungary is continuously recruiting for various positions. The company offers competitive benefit packages and extensive career and professional development opportunities for all its employees.
