Tobacco giant Swedish Match is closing its snus factory on Gotland with 60 employees, reports Dagens industri.
Negotiations have been initiated with the union to move production from our facility in Roma to Kungälv, the company states in a press release.
Swedish Match, which has been owned by American Philip Morris since 2022, seven years ago bought the majority of Gotlandssnus for 300 million kronor, Di writes with reference to the industry magazine Tobacco & More. But in January this year, the production of the snus varieties that followed the purchase ceased.
