PMI invests in new GBS hub in Manila
Multinational tobacco company Philip Morris International (PMI) recently invested in a new global business service (GBS) hub based in Manila as part of its economic footprint expansion in the Philippines.
Registered under the name PMI Business Solutions Inc. (PBS), the GBS hub will render integrated business solutions to PMI affiliates in the Asia-Pacific and European regions. It is also expected to open hundreds of fresh job opportunities within three years.
PBS president Sharmini Krishnan said, “The Philippines was chosen as a strategic location because of the diverse talent pool and availability in the country that would enable us to launch new capabilities to fuel transformation across PMI.”
Krishnan added that the new center ‘will enable the design of digital and global solutions for PMI and deliver business solutions in the areas of finance, people and culture, and information technology.”
PBS is the second global center established by PMI after the first facility in Krakow, Poland.
