Philip Morris Hungary Kft has finished setting up its own Ft 2 billion direct sales network, corporate relations manager Zsolt Jamniczky said yesterday. Philip Morris decided to discontinue selling its cigarettes through wholesalers last year and start building a direct sales network. Philip Morris now employs 300 people to distribute its cigarettes, a quarter of them formerly employed at the company's cigarette factory in Eger, which shut down at the end of last year.
