A smokeless tobacco producer in Owensboro is preparing to expand this month.
Governor Matt Bevin said Thursday Swedish Match will add to its Owensboro facility with a nearly $41 million dollar investment and create 36 full-time jobs. The company’s investment brings a 34,000-square-foot expansion of its facility and the purchase of new equipment. The company is also building a 16,000-square-foot production area for ZYN, a smokeless and spitless tobacco-derived nicotine pouch. Swedish Match anticipates construction will begin in September and finish by July 2019.
