It was a privilege to join Rolf Sorg and the PM International team as they unveiled their new U.S. headquarters — a major milestone for a company whose growth has spanned decades. Founded in 1993, PM International now operates in more than 40 countries worldwide and reported annual revenue of over US $3.25 billion in 2024. Wikipedia Cutting the ribbon alongside Vicki Sorg, Stuart McMillan and Stuart Johnson made the event even more meaningful. This move underscores PM International’s commitment to North America — strengthening operations here while continuing to build globally. Beyond numbers, PM International stands out for what they believe in: supporting distributors, investing in their people, and making global impact through initiatives like “PM We Care,” which supports education and health projects. Congratulations to everyone at PM International on this landmark step. We look forward to watching what comes next.
