Company history

Philip Morris International’s origins trace to a tobacco shop opened by Philip Morris on London’s Bond Street in 1847. Philip Morris & Co. was incorporated in New York in 1902, and Philip Morris International was incorporated as an operating company in 1987, serving markets outside the United States.[33][34]

In 2005, PMI’s Indonesian affiliate acquired a majority stake in HM Sampoerna. PMI became an independent public company in 2008, when it separated from Altria; that year it also completed its acquisition of Rothmans Inc.[35]

PMI introduced IQOS in pilot markets in 2014 and, in 2016, publicly set out a strategy to build its future around smoke-free alternatives. In 2021 it expanded beyond traditional tobacco through the Fertin Pharma acquisition and pursuit of Vectura. The 2022 acquisition of a majority position in Swedish Match further broadened its smoke-free portfolio, including with nicotine pouches.[38] [33]
