In a strategic move to consolidate its presence in the Caribbean, Central America, and the Andean region, Philip Morris International (PMI) has established the new Philip Morris CCA (Caribbean, Central America, and Andean) cluster. This initiative aims to unify over 30 countries under a single operational framework, enhancing market development and regional integration. PMI emphasized that this decision underscores its dedication to fostering growth and opportunities within these diverse markets.
