Rod Making & Combining
Rod making and combining machinery for cut rag/leaf, strip cut and extruded tobacco rod.
- Nicotine
Nicotine
Our founding sector: machinery, format conversion and service for tobacco, oral pouch and next-generation nicotine products.
Where we started
ProCo-STS was built on the tobacco and related products industry, and it remains the sector where our machinery, parts coverage and process knowledge run deepest. Every capability below is available to it.
That reach extends from traditional rod making and packing equipment through to the oral pouch and next-generation formats the category has moved towards, which place quite different demands on machinery, and in many cases require a dosing or sealing operation that conventional tobacco equipment was never designed around.
Compliance
We hold HMRC warehouse authorisation for the storage of tobacco products and for machinery testing and are authorised to participate in the Tobacco Products Manufacturing Machinery Licensing Scheme (TPMMLS).
ProCo-STS Limited does not supply spare parts, format parts, machinery or service to any company or individual suspected of being involved with counterfeit tobacco products.
