BAT Opens New Tobacco Production Line in Croatia
British American Tobacco invests $82 million in a tobacco production line in Croatia, creating 70 new jobs.

According to Seenews, British American Tobacco recently opened a tobacco product production line worth HRK 600 million ($82 million) at their factory in Kanfanar, Croatia.


In May 2021, British American Tobacco announced that it would begin production of heated tobacco products at its factory in Cagnes-sur-Mer. This investment has created 70 new job opportunities, with expectations for further job creation as production levels increase. BAT has reported that nearly 80% of the products produced by the new production line will be exported.


The Kanfanar factory is now entirely powered by renewable energy and all wastewater is recycled. BAT has announced plans to invest 22 million kunas in environmental, social and governance activities at its Kanfanar facility as part of its efforts to achieve carbon neutrality by 2030.


The completion of the new production line occurred last week following the opening of BAT's new logistics and distribution center in Piotrków Trybunalski, Croatia. The line will source tobacco from 26 countries and supply tobacco to Poland’s Ostrówek, Germany’s Bayreuth, and Hungary’s Pécs.
