The closure
will take effect on October 1. Some 140 jobs will remain for marketing and
sales. The company has been a major employer in the southern town since 1980
and unions said the closure is a bitter blow.
The Dutch
factory produces some 75 billion Marlboro, L&M and Chesterfield cigarettes
a year. Most are destined for export.
According
to the Financieele Dagblad, most of the production is being shifted to Greece
and Portugual and no reason has been given for the closure.
Profit
In 2012,
the last year for which figures are available, the factory booked sales of
€511m and net profit of €145m, an increase of 21% on 2011, the Volkskrant
reports.
British
American Tobacco closed its Dutch plant in Zevenaar in 2006 with the loss of
570 jobs.
On
Wednesday Philip Morris said it was closing its Australian plant and switching
production to South Korea. The company said it had been unable to increase exports
to make up for the fall in domestic demand. Australia introduced plain
packaging for cigarettes in 2012.

“… The Shift in Human Nature
You're starting to see integrity change. Awareness recalibrates integrity, and the Human Being who would sit there and take advantage of another Human Being in an old energy would never do it in a new energy. The reason? It will become intuitive, so this is a shift in Human Nature as well, for in the past you have assumed that people take advantage of people first and integrity comes later. That's just ordinary Human nature.
In the past, Human nature expressed within governments worked like this: If you were stronger than the other one, you simply conquered them. If you were strong, it was an invitation to conquer. If you were weak, it was an invitation to be conquered. No one even thought about it. It was the way of things. The bigger you could have your armies, the better they would do when you sent them out to conquer. That's not how you think today. Did you notice?
Any country that thinks this way today will not survive, for humanity has discovered that the world goes far better by putting things together instead of tearing them apart. The new energy puts the weak and strong together in ways that make sense and that have integrity. Take a look at what happened to some of the businesses in this great land (USA). Up to 30 years ago, when you started realizing some of them didn't have integrity, you eliminated them. What happened to the tobacco companies when you realized they were knowingly addicting your children? Today, they still sell their products to less-aware countries, but that will also change.
What did you do a few years ago when you realized that your bankers were actually selling you homes that they knew you couldn't pay for later? They were walking away, smiling greedily, not thinking about the heartbreak that was to follow when a life's dream would be lost. Dear American, you are in a recession. However, this is like when you prune a tree and cut back the branches. When the tree grows back, you've got control and the branches will grow bigger and stronger than they were before, without the greed factor. Then, if you don't like the way it grows back, you'll prune it again! I tell you this because awareness is now in control of big money. It's right before your eyes, what you're doing. But fear often rules. …”
