According to a report from "Today in Hungary," the company is currently constructing a production facility worth 10 billion forint (equivalent to 24.28 million US dollars). The facility includes three levels with a total construction area of 1800 square meters per floor and will feature modern machinery.


This investment will increase the tobacco factory's production capacity by approximately one quarter.

According to public data, Mainland China's tobacco sales reached 56.41 billion RMB in revenue last year, with a profit of 6.35 billion RMB. The company's products are sold in over 30 countries.


In the face of regulatory and competitive challenges, many tobacco producers in Hungary have left the industry in recent years.
