Philip Morris International Announces Contract Manufacturing Collaboration with Altria
Philip Morris International Inc. (PMI) has announced a contract manufacturing collaboration with Philip Morris USA, an operating company of Altria, for combustible cigarettes through its non-U.S. affiliates. The collaboration aims to leverage the manufacturing capabilities of both companies while PMI continues to focus on delivering a smoke-free future. The first shipments are expected to begin early in 2027, subject to operational readiness and regulatory requirements. PMI has not commercialized combustible cigarettes in the United States and has no plans to do so; this arrangement will not change that. PMI and Altria will continue to operate independently and maintain responsibility for their own commercialization, distribution, and regulatory activities.
