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.
ITG Brands currently manufactures a diverse range of cigarettes, cigars and vapor products. While Imperial Brands markets modern oral products in select European markets under the Zone X and Skruf brands, the acquisition will enable ITG Brands’ first offering in the modern oral nicotine market in the United States.
“This is an opportunity to expand our next generation product offerings in the U.S. and to be able to offer our legal adult consumers a wider range of product options,” said Kim Reed, President and CEO of ITG Brands. “We look forward to a long and successful partnership with TJP Labs.”
