Philip Morris Aurora ZYN Plant Opens, $600M Phase II on Way
Philip Morris International just opened its $600 million ZYN manufacturing facility in Aurora. Now, the Denver Business Journal reports the company is already exploring phase two, which would double the investment. The current plant consists of a 780,000 square foot building on 148 acres. The doubling of the construction figure includes land acquisition, facility construction, advanced manufacturing equipment, infrastructure development and future production capabilities.
Construction for the facility was expected to create nearly 5,000 construction-related jobs. Once fully operational, it is expected to generate $550 million in annual economic impact and support 1,000 indirect jobs.
The Aurora campus includes production, packaging, warehousing and distribution in a single location, boosting the company’s supply chain.
The need for this facility came after shortages of ZYN products hit the country in 2024.
ZYN nicotine pouches, manufactured by PMI subsidiary Swedish Match North America, have been selling in the U.S. for more than 10 years.
