P&G to Wind Down Pakistan Operations, Shift to Third-Party Distribution

The decision is framed as part of a global overhaul that replaces Pakistan production with supply routed from regional hubs.

Overview

  • P&G says operations will continue in the ordinary course during a months-long transition, with planning starting immediately.
  • Employees affected by the change will be considered for roles in other P&G markets or offered separation packages under local laws.
  • Consumers in Pakistan will be served via third-party distributors, with products supplied from P&G’s other regional operations.
  • Gillette Pakistan will convene its board to assess wind-down steps including a potential delisting, and its shares jumped by the 10% daily limit after the announcement.
  • The pullback follows earlier asset sales and weak local performance, with Gillette Pakistan’s revenue nearly halved by June 2025, as analysts cite profit-repatriation hurdles, currency volatility, high costs and regulatory pressures affecting multinationals.
