PHILIP MORRIS QUITS REGIONAL MAKING

MAJOR tobacco supplier Philip Morris is closing its regional production facility in Moorabbin, Australia, and moving its manufacture for the local market to Korea.  About 180 employees will lose their jobs but a substantial sales and head office operation for the region remains. The company says despite the introduction of plain packaging and a major illicit trade, the PM volumes were remaining stable.
