Philip Morris International's U.S. businesses (NYSE: PM) announced plans to invest approximately $50 million in a new Business Solutions Center in Tampa, Florida, creating about 180 direct and indirect jobs.

The facility will consolidate business solutions, distribution operations, and customer service functions into a single hub. The investment includes capital expenditures for workspace build-out and a 10-year lease commitment for the site at Highwoods Bay Center in Tampa's Westshore Business District.

Job opportunities will span multiple areas including finance, data engineering and analytics, information technology, project management, sales enablement, talent acquisition, and people operations, according to the company's press release.

"Florida has proven to be an exceptional partner—offering a business-friendly environment, robust infrastructure, and a deep pool of highly skilled talent," said Stacey Kennedy, CEO of PMI U.S.

Since 2022, PMI U.S. has invested more than $1 billion in American manufacturing, operational capabilities and personnel costs through September 30, 2025. This includes a $600 million commitment for a ZYN nicotine pouch manufacturing facility in Aurora, Colorado, a $232 million expansion of its ZYN production site in Owensboro, Kentucky, and more than $37 million to support operations in Wilson, North Carolina.

The company currently employs more than 3,000 people across America and operates manufacturing facilities in Colorado, Kentucky, and North Carolina. PMI U.S. has also provided approximately $35 million to national and local charities since 2022, supporting veterans organizations, economic empowerment initiatives, and disaster relief efforts.

The Tampa facility is scheduled to open at 5426 Bay Center Drive in the Westshore Business District.
