Production of Vuse e-cigarettes has been consolidated following installation of new equipment at the main manufacturing facility in Tobaccoville, North Carolina, Reynolds American (RAI) said.

Portions of Vuse cartridge production previously done by a contractor in Kansas have been shifted to the central site. Last year RAI made a multi-million dollar investment to boost speed and efficiency by purchasing new equipment.
“As the vapour category continues to develop, we need to make sure out manufacturing operations are efficient and cost-effective in meeting anticipated demand,” said RAI Chief Executive Officer Susan Cameron.
