Project of reconstruction of the existing tobacco production company British American Tobacco Ukraine. The company is the world’s second largest producer of tobacco products. The corporation is headquartered in London. The company’s portfolio includes such brands as KENT, Rothmans, Pall Mall, Vogue, Dunhill, Lucky Strike, Capri and others. British American Tobacco Ukraine products are exported to Belarus, Armenia, Georgia, Moldova, Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan, Poland, Hungary, Romania, Croatia and the Netherlands (for the Duty Free network of the world’s largest airports).
British American Tobacco Ukraine is the first company with foreign investment in the tobacco industry of Ukraine, which was founded in 1993 on the basis of the Pryluky Tobacco Factory. The history of the Pryluky Tobacco Factory dates back to 1889, when the factory produced smoking shag, snuff, and later yellow tobacco. The products were supplied not only to domestic but also to foreign markets – to Germany, Romania, Turkey, China and other countries.
The reconstruction does not involve an increase in production capacity and is aimed at improving working conditions, optimizing production and logistics processes and improving product quality. The new areas are equipped with modern equipment, including foreign production.
The project envisages the construction of the main load-bearing elements of buildings and the arrangement of one-storey buildings with a two-storey technical insert, which houses production facilities, technological technical premises, administrative premises, logistics and raw material reception areas.
The construction is carried out in two stages: the first stage – the construction of the extension to the cigarette shop and the second stage – the construction of the extension to the tobacco shop. Production capacity – 30 billion units / year. The total number of employees at the company is 694 people. General designer – Etual LLC.
