Zyn users, rejoice: Production is about to ramp up in the U.S.
Philip Morris International (PMI), Zyn's parent company, announced Tuesday it would invest $600 million to build a new production facility in Aurora, Colorado, dedicated to manufacturing the popular nicotine pouches.
The move comes as Zyn has been subject to nationwide shortages as a result of its runaway success.
“PMI and its U.S. affiliates are accelerating their mission to move adults who smoke away from cigarettes in the U.S. by investing in new U.S. manufacturing capacity to meet the increasing demand for nicotine options that are scientifically substantiated as better alternatives,” said PMI Americas President and U.S. CEO Stacey Kennedy in a statement.
“We believe Colorado is likeminded in its commitment to innovation, economic opportunity and public health, and we’re eager to work with the state and its talented workforce as we expand our U.S. manufacturing presence.”
