帝国烟草宣布已将其在新西兰伯通的生产设施出售给一家房地产开发商，并将于9月30日停止运营该工厂。据报道，2月工厂关闭将意味着失去122个工作岗位。

伯通工厂主要向澳大利亚市场供应帝国烟草的产品，并且是该公司在新西兰或澳大利亚唯一的工厂。

该场所位于一个受欢迎的郊区，面积为2.25公顷，包括仓库，生产车间和办公大楼

大约90年以来，该站点一直是伯通经济的重要组成部分。 新西兰W.D&H.O Wills 有限公司在1919年在惠灵顿建立业务并扩展之后，于1930年左右开始在郊区生产卷烟。

自1990年代后期以来，帝国烟草一直拥有该生产基地。

该工厂的所有生产将由台湾的帝国工厂负责。

Imperial Tobacco announced that it has sold its Petone (New Zealand) production facility to a real estate developer and will discontinue its operations at the facility by

Sept. 30. In Feb. it was reported that the factory’s closure would mean the loss of 122 jobs.

Located in a popular suburb, the site measures 2.25-hectare and includes a warehouse along with manufacturing and office buildings

The site had been an important part of the Petone economy for around 90 years. W.D and H.O Wills 有限公司 started manufacturing cigarettes in suburb around 1930, after establishing their business in Wellington in 1919 and needing to expand.

Imperial Tobacco had owned the site since the late-1990s

All production at the facility will be taken up by an Imperial facility in Taiwan.
