Today, on the 5th of June, Pascal Csikasz and Marcus Kalander visited Swedish Match’s production plant of lighters in Manila. There we were recieved by Mattias, who is the current Finance & IT Manager on the site, and by Martin, who is set to fill this position in a few weeks. We were given a tour around the factory together with the production manager, and later we got to hear more about Swedish Match’s products, operations, and history, both in the Philippines and world wide.
