Japan Tobacco International (JTI) is investing US$100 million in a production plant in Stary Gostków near Łódź for the production of its Ploom Tech tobacco capsules. The 28,000 sq.m. plant, scheduled to start production at the end of this year, will be the first plant producing Ploom Tech outside Japan.
It will employ 80 more people, thus taking the number of JTI Polska employees to over 1,800. The company currently produces cigarettes, smoking tobacco, cigars, cigarillos, and pipe tobacco.
