Servo technology satisfies a global craving

摘要

Demand for tobacco products generates a total world market amounting to a staggering 5,500 billion cigarettes per year and this market is growing by about 3.4% per annum in the developing world, despite regulation. This evolving marketplace is compelling cigarette manufacturers to re-examine their production strategies in order to meet demands for new niche brand types such as Superslims and Lights, while at the same time controlling manufacturing costs. In addition, they are recognising the critical need to introduce flexible and reactive manufacturing resources to grow their global market shares.
