Perspective
In October 2025, P&G announced that it would close its manufacturing and commercial operations in Pakistan, including its subsidiary Gillette Pakistan Ltd., as part of the company’s global restructuring.[8] Under the plan, P&G will shift to a third-party distribution model to continue serving Pakistani consumers, meaning that instead of local production and direct sales, independent distributors will import and market P&G brands in the country.[9]
The company said the exit would be done in an orderly manner over several months, during which it would continue to operate “in the normal course.”[10] It also said that affected employees would be considered for roles in other P&G operations outside Pakistan or offered severance packages in accordance with local laws and company policy.[11]
Gillette Pakistan also indicated that it would consider delisting from the Pakistan Stock Exchange as part of the business closure process and emphasized that despite the operational winddown, its products (such as Pampers, Ariel, Head & Shoulders, Pantene, Always, Safeguard, Olay, Vicks) will continue to be available in Pakistan through regional operations and third parties.[12][13]
