Philip Morris International has opened a new manufacturing campus in Aurora, Colorado, investing $1.2 billion to expand domestic production of its nicotine pouch brand, Zyn. The $1.2 billion facility was originally announced in 2024 as a $600 million project, but the company’s plans grew as demand surged.

The roughly 780,000‑square‑foot campus began commercial production after about 19 months of construction, positioning Aurora as a strategic hub for future growth and export. The new plant strengthens supply‑chain resilience and boosts the company’s ability to meet rising demand in the United States and abroad.

"This facility expands our production capacity, strengthens our supply chain, and enhances our ability to serve growing demand in the United States and around the world," said Stacey Kennedy, chief executive of Philip Morris U.S. "It reflects our confidence in American workers, U.S. manufacturing, and the long‑term growth opportunities ahead for our business."

The investment underscores Philip Morris’s commitment to expanding its nicotine pouch portfolio while supporting American manufacturing. By consolidating production in Aurora, the company aims to reduce logistical bottlenecks and deliver products more efficiently to consumers worldwide, positioning the brand for continued growth.
