Another milestone towards a smoke-free world – the development of BAT’s new production hall in Pécs has reached an important stage

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,”
