Mr. Bang’s participation resulted in sharing of the long-term roadmap and vision of the partnership.<\/p>\n

The two companies first joined hands in 2020 and introduced lil<\/i> in three markets including Japan<\/span> in the first year of the agreement. Later, they expanded the coverage of overseas markets to more than 30 markets worldwide, including European countries such as Italy<\/span> and Greece<\/span> as well as the Central American region. Building on these achievements, KT&G and PMI entered into a new long-term agreement of 15 years on January 30, 2023<\/span> and solidified their commitment to collaboration.<\/p>\n

KT&G CEO nominee Kyung-man Bang stated, "Over the past four years of partnership with PMI, we have successfully elevated the competitiveness of our NGP products and brands, and established a solid foundation for the robust growth of our global NGP business. Going forward, we will strive to secure our future growth momentum and propel the company into global top-tier position by building on the collaboration with PMI."<\/p>\n

PMI CEO Jacek Olczak<\/span> stated, "PMI and KT&G share a common vision of providing better alternatives to more than one billion smokers around the world and the two companies have been continuing strategic collaboration with this vision in mind. We hope the smoke-free products of the two companies will play a complementary role to each other, providing a more innovative product portfolio to more consumers."<\/p>\n
