Phimo International has announced that it will change the manufacturer name on its product portfolio, including Winston, Merit, and L&M, to "UTC Produced in Egypt" after obtaining the license to produce traditional and electronic cigarettes in Egypt from the United Tobacco Company.
Fimo International clarified that Eastern Company will continue producing its cigarette products until their available production inventory is depleted. After this transitional phase, UTC will begin taking over manufacturing.
FIMO International announced their pride in their nearly 50-year strategic partnership with Oriental Tobacco Company and their expectation to maintain this relationship through their shareholding in UTC. The company confirmed their commitment to achieving sustainable success in the Egyptian market and their efforts to maintain their leading position in the market through this new phase. UTC will be responsible for manufacturing a product portfolio that meets the needs of adult smokers.
Phimo International has confirmed its commitment to all existing contractual relationships with traders and suppliers, ensuring the availability of its products in every province of Egypt. The company's ultimate goal is to contribute to the Egyptian economy and meet the demands of adult smokers.
