Introduction to JTI’s New Move
JT International U.S.A., Inc. (JTI), recognized as one of the fastest-growing tobacco companies in the U.S., is set to relocate its headquarters from New Jersey to North Carolina. This strategic move to Raleigh is expected to bring over a hundred new high-paying jobs to the area, reinforcing the company’s commitment to growth and development within the region.
Why Raleigh?
Scheduled to open later this year, the new headquarters will be located in the state-of-the-art One North Hills Tower at North Hill in Midtown Raleigh. This location was chosen for its vibrant community and dynamic business environment, which are ideal for fostering JTI’s expansion.
North Carolina’s Welcoming Business Environment
North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper expressed enthusiasm about JTI’s decision, citing the state’s top-flight workforce and number one business environment as key factors. “It’s great to see another international company choose North Carolina for its extraordinary quality of life,” said Cooper.
Economic Impact and Job Creation
JTI’s presence in North Carolina is already significant, with hundreds of contracted tobacco farms and a large buying station in Wilson, NC. The relocation is poised to enhance these existing relationships and boost local economic activities. Mayor Mary-Ann Baldwin highlighted the introduction of over 100 high-paying roles as a testament to the quality of life and talent available in Raleigh.
Diverse Opportunities at JTI
The new roles at JTI USA will span across several functions, including sales, customer service, administration, as well as marketing, finance, and human resources. “We are very excited to be joining Raleigh’s diverse community,” stated Corrado Mautone, General Manager and President of JTI USA. He added that Raleigh’s robust talent pool makes it an ideal location for the company’s new headquarters.
