JTI Turkey was the first Turkey-based tobacco export company. Today Turkey has become the company\u2019s second-largest market and is home to the company\u2019s third-largest factory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company works closely with Turkish farmers to secure the supply of high-quality oriental tobacco leaves \u2014 75 percent is used in domestic products and 25 percent is used in products exported to international markets. The company\u2019s 80,000 square meter factory in Torbali, Izmir employs approximately 2,300 employees, including its sales force, produces 12 brands and is constantly expanding operations.

JTI Turkey places great importance on its well-qualified workforce and combines experienced employees with university graduates to foster a balanced workforce founded on knowledge, expertise and innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are proud of our commitment to Turkey and our ability to not only export our products, but also focus on exporting talent to the world,\u201d said Mehdi Bejar, factory director of Japan Tobacco International Turkey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe country is an ideal hub for business and offers companies cost competitiveness, growth opportunities and access to international markets. We also optimize local natural resources.
