Mar 11, 2009-Filtrona Filter Products will be exhibiting at the Tobacco Plus Expo 09 in New Orleans on May 6-7. "It's really important to me to be able to meet with customers face to face and discuss any issues they are trying to solve and upcoming opportunities," said Nick Kane, key account director - Americas, who will be manning Filtrona's stand at the exhibition. "The Tobacco Plus Expo provides us with the perfect place to do this, as well as enabling us to showcase our latest product innovations. 2009 is sure to be an interesting year for the tobacco industry in the Americas and we are looking forward to sharing our knowledge and innovative solutions." Filtrona will be focusing in part on filters for the roll-your-own (RYO) market, which, in the US, has grown by an average of more than nine per cent during the past 10 years. Visitors to the company's stand will be able to discuss new RYO filter tips that offer brand differentiation, such as colored flavor threads and Active Patch? tips. Filtrona will be discussing also how, in light of the current economic climate, cigarette manufacturers can meet increasing demands for lower cost options. And it will be talking about its 12 filter ranges, comprising 46 different filter types, which include those for selective performance. Enditem
