PHILIP MORRIS USA INC.
RICHMOND, VA

Philip Morris USA Inc. is a prominent player in the tobacco industry, renowned for its diverse portfolio of products including cigars under the Nat Sherman brand, super-premium cigarettes, and innovative e-vapor offerings from Nu Mark. Founded on October 26, 1971, and incorporated in Virginia with the company type identified as FORP (Foreign-Owned Registered Corporation), Philip Morris USA has established its headquarters at 6601 West Broad Street, Richmond, VA. The company employs a multifaceted approach to tracking market dynamics, utilizing IRI/MSAi services to project cigarette sales share trends across various retail classes while acknowledging limitations in capturing online and direct mail sales channels.

The selected location is a historic site designed by Gordon Bunshaft, an acclaimed architect whose vision for modern construction, utilizing aluminum, earned the company accolades including the Test of Time Award from the American Institute of Architects. Manufacturing prowess is displayed at its sprawling facility near I-95 in South Richmond, VA, which spans 43 acres and houses six buildings across a total area of 1.6 million square feet. This production hub generates half of all cigarettes sold in the United States. Additionally, Philip Morris USA supports promotional activities through its Crazy Mountain Ranch located in Montana.
