ITG Brands Announces Acquisition of Nicotine Pouch Range

GREENSBORO, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ITG Brands, a member of the Imperial Brands PLC family, announced the acquisition of a range of nicotine pouches from Canada-based manufacturer TJP Labs to enable future entrance into the modern oral nicotine market.
