More snus is good news for BFF

While BFF Technical Fabrics, a Somerset, England, manufacturer of nonwovens, makes a range of fabrics for medical products, wipes, automotive uses and filtration, the largest part of its 2010 profits came from the popular smokeless tobacco called snus. Snus is a variety of snuff packaged in small bags, and BFF is the development partner of choice for the world’s leading tobacco brands. “The growing global snus market represents an additional opportunity for us and allows us to demonstrate our technical capabilities,” says BFF chairman David Lamb.
