BAT Releases glo HYPER PRO in Bosnia and Herzegovina

British American Tobacco (BAT) launched its latest heated tobacco device, glo HYPER PRO, in Bosnia and Herzegovina on June 20th.

According to a report by Bljesak.Info on June 20th, British American Tobacco (BAT) unveiled its latest heated tobacco device, glo HYPER PRO, for the first time in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Previously, glo HYPER PRO had been launched in Croatia, Serbia, Italy, Poland, Japan, and other countries. With the launch of glo HYPER PRO, BAT became the first tobacco company to offer all categories of smokeless products (including e-cigarettes, nicotine pouches, and the current glo HYPER PRO heated tobacco product) in the Bosnian market. The company claims that these are also important steps towards BAT's commitment to creating "A Better Tomorrow™" and realizing its vision of a smoke-free world. The company's strategic goal is to shift smokers from traditional tobacco products to lower-risk alternative products, with the aim of becoming the leading company in the smokeless industry by 2035.

Furthermore, BAT emphasized its significant contribution to the economy of Bosnia and Herzegovina. BAT has operations in the country, including corporate offices and iNovina, as well as over 400 iNovina kiosks nationwide. In addition, they directly employ over 1000 people in Bosnia and Herzegovina, providing more job opportunities for locals. In 2023, they contributed 336 million convertible marks (KM) to the national budget of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

BAT Bosnia and Herzegovina director Johan Baguca stated that

The glo HYPER PRO is not just a device, but a perfect combination of technological innovation and exquisite design. Its aim is to introduce new technologies, such as smart LED screens and the HeatBoost induction heating system... For us, the most important thing is the satisfaction of nearly nine million adult glo users worldwide. We believe that this device will be well-received in Bosnia and Herzegovina and will certainly further enhance our position as the only company in the industry to offer a full range of low-risk smoke-free products in the country.

The General Manager of BAT Adriatic Region, Zvonko Kolobara, stated

I am proud of the launch of our glo HYPER PRO device, which has fully encompassed the low risk product category in the entire Adriatic region market, including Bosnia and Herzegovina, within our BAT product line. This is crucial for BAT and our future business. The key is that we need to offer as wide a range as possible of lower risk alternative products for our consumers, adult smokers. Over the past three years, BAT has invested over 1.4 billion euros in research and development, commercialization, and scientific studies to support its portfolio of lower risk tobacco and nicotine products. These efforts are crucial, as clear regulatory frameworks are needed to differentiate between tobacco and lower risk products and understand the potential of these alternatives for adult smokers.

Currently, the glo HYPER PRO device is now available for purchase at iNovina newsstands and other retail locations in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
