Employees in Dagmersellen
Investment and growth in the heart of Switzerland. For over 50 years.
Japan Tobacco International (JTI) is a global company — with roots here in Switzerland. Switzerland is important for JTI as a market and production location. In addition to the international headquarters in Geneva, the Swiss national market organization is based in Dagmersellen, Lucerne.
There are several reasons why we are so successful in Switzerland. Among the most important are the excellent vocational education system, the flexible labor market and the stable political environment.
Our success story began back in 1971 with the opening of the production facility in Dagmersellen. Since then we have grown steadily. Today, 37 million cigarettes are shipped out of the factory daily — mostly destined for export to around 22 countries all over the world.
To ensure that JTI’s Swiss operation maintains its competitiveness in the future, we continually invest in our production facilities.
As a manufacturer of tobacco products, we take our social and environmental responsibilities seriously.
By using state-of-the-art technologies, our production facilities are more efficient and energy-saving than ever before.
As an award-winning employer we want to give something back to society: For many years now, we have supported numerous charitable, cultural and environmental projects in the region and throughout Switzerland.
Since 2007 we have massively reduced CO2 emissions in Dagmersellen
Tobacco is our passion. Popular traditional brands like Winston and Camel are instantly recognizable and have always been a special source of pride.
