Philip Morris Serbia Starts Cut Tobacco Output on Demand

Philip Morris International Inc. started producing cut tobacco in Serbia to respond to changing habits of consumers who seek cheaper alternatives following cigarette price increases.

The cut tobacco is “a growing phenomenon in Serbia” and Philip Morris’ unit in Serbia will be the first factory in Europe, Middle East and Africa and the “fourth manufacturing facility that we have in the world to produce cut tobacco,” outgoing managing director Paul Riley said in Belgrade today.
