Premium Tobacco Group - McCroft Tobacco Kosova L.L.C

The tobacco industry was formed in the 1950s, with the construction of a tobacco processing plant and the production of tobacco leaflets in commercial packages. Until this time period, tobacco cultivation in Anamorava and generally in the territory of Kosovo was developed in the form of manufactural production. With the construction of the Factory and the start of work on the finalization of cigarette production, the tobacco processing industry as a raw material takes on another dimension. Tobacco cultivation and processing now exceeds thousands of tons per year. Premium Tobacco Group is a company that privatized the Tobacco Factory in Gjilan in 2012. After privatization was successfully completed, with the purchase of 100% of the shares by McCroft Tobacco Kosovo L.L.C. under the administration of PWC – London, as well as with the agreement signed with the KPA, Premium Tobacco Group begins the process of activating all departments, in order to re-functionalize the production capacity of the factory.
