Currently, the facility is equipped with world-leading equipment that enables the production of 1000 cigarette packs per minute.
Mandy Yak, spokesperson, stated, "We plan to further automate our processes, including the introduction of additional collaborative robots and automated workflows. We will also enhance information flow and process management.
