According to Milehighcre, PMI U.S. will host a job fair to recruit employees for its manufacturing facility currently under construction in Aurora.

The facility produces Swedish Match ZYN nicotine pouches. It broke ground in late 2024, began limited preliminary production in September 2025, and is scheduled to become fully operational in 2026.

PMI stated that the facility will generate an ongoing annual economic impact of $550 million and create 500 direct jobs, as well as 1,000 indirect jobs, for the State of Colorado.

According to the recruitment website, the main position being hired for at the facility is Process Technician, with the following responsibilities:
