BAT Hellas is creating 150 new jobs in Greece. These new jobs, despite the unfavorable international environment at the moment, come after the 200 jobs during 2021 that came from the significant investments of the company in Greece in the fields of technology and innovation that the heated tobacco product glo and the Vuse steam product brought to the Greek market.
The President and CEO of British American Tobacco Hellas, Mr. Vitalii Kochenko, said: “The company continues to invest, giving value to the Greek economy and society, contributing to the significant effort made for the further recovery of the Greek economy. In this context, we enable a significant number of employees to become members of our vision for further development in Greece, a country that has been selected by the Group as a strategic market. And all this in parallel with the continuous development of glo and Vuse as an option for those who wish to quit smoking.”
