Compare to this post from Treet's CEO blog:

I agree. I don't see Gillette opening in Pakistan, so China is the most likely to shore up production.
I agree.
In a normal situation, I believe the current setup could remain unchanged, or alternatively a significant share of PPI production could gradually be shifted to the Gillette plant in Shanghai.
Given the current international instability, while we hope that the war in Ukraine will come to an end and that the PPI facility in Russia may once again produce blades for Western markets as it did in the past, it is natural to wonder what could happen if a similar crisis were to arise between China and Taiwan. In such a scenario, new trade or logistical restrictions could not be ruled out.
India already has two plants, with the main site located in Baddi, in addition to the blades produced by Vertice Global for Gillette.
However, both the number of machines installed and the actual production capacity of Gillette’s facility in Egypt remain unclear.
Looking ahead, it would not be unrealistic to imagine the establishment of a new Gillette blade factory in countries such as Bangladesh, Pakistan or Turkey. Such a decision, however, would depend on many difficult to predict factors: industrial costs, geopolitical stability, logistical infrastructure, and above all the target markets that the production would be intended to supply. I would rule out Pakistan because of its proximity to India. Bangladesh could be a candidate, particularly because of its low labour costs or they will increase production at the Gillette factory in Egypt.
This last option currently seems the simplest and most natural solution should it become necessary to suddenly move production to another factory.
