Philip Morris International Inc.'s U.S. businesses have inaugurated a new manufacturing campus in Aurora, Colorado, representing a $1.2 billion investment. The facility, which began commercial production in July 2026, is designed to enhance PMI's domestic

manufacturing capabilities and supply chain resilience. It will produce ZYN nicotine pouches and serve as a strategic hub for production and export, supporting markets in Asia, Latin America, and the Caribbean. The campus is expected to create approximately 500 jobs and generate significant economic impact in Colorado.

The opening of the Aurora campus is a major step in PMI's strategy to strengthen its manufacturing footprint in the U.S. This investment not only boosts local employment but also positions the company to better meet growing demand for nicotine products domestically and internationally. The facility's integration of production, packaging, and distribution operations enhances operational efficiency and supply chain resilience, which are critical in today's competitive market. This development reflects PMI's confidence in U.S. manufacturing and its commitment to long-term growth.
