From Tabaqueira to Italy: Portuguese professional takes on new challenge at the world's largest Philip Morris factory

João Brígido's international career takes on a new dimension. The former director of the Tabaqueira factory in Portugal was appointed director of the industrial unit of Philip Morris International (PMI) in Crespellano, Bologna, considered the largest factory of the group worldwide. The Portuguese executive thus transitions to one of the most senior positions in the company's industrial structure. The Crespellano factory is recognized as the most important production unit of Philip Morris International globally. This appointment represents a significant step in João Brígido's professional trajectory, as he leaves behind the leadership of the Portuguese operation to take on this new international challenge.
