Japan Tobacco International (JTI) close manufacturing location in Linz
by admin October 1st, 2007 in Austrian Economy
The cigarette manufacturer “Austria Tabak” was government property until the end of the millennium.
Then politicans sold the factory to the Japanese combine “Japan Tobacco” to get some more money for their budget.
Now the Japanese decided to close the factory in two years. 300 workers are affected, and the close-down should happen gradually.
The Japanese want to concentrate their production in Austria on one place. This should be the Lower Austrian town of Hainburg. Hainburg was chosen because its factory is not under protection of historic buildings and monuments, in contradistinction to Linz.
