Japan Tobacco International (JTI) is to sell the land of the factory in Pipera, along with the move of the production lines to the new factory it is building in Ștefăneștii de Jos.
“The construction will be ready next year, but it will take us about two years in total to move production to the new location. So, in 2027 and 2028, production will move gradually and we will work with both factories for a few years. We will move the production lines gradually, because it is not possible all at once. We expect that by 2029, everything will be moved from here, after which we will leave this location and sell the land,” said Antonio Vencesla, Director of Corporate Affairs & Communications JTI Romania, Moldova and Bulgaria.
The JTI factory in Bucharest operates on a land of about 23,000 square meters.
JTI announced an investment of approximately EUR 300 million for the construction of the new ultra-modern factory in Ștefăneștii de Jos (Ilfov County).
