Company Description
Japan Tobacco (JT) has plenty to puff about. The firm captures about 60% of the Japanese cigarette market -- the #4 market worldwide. It holds nine of the country's top 10 brands, including Mild Seven, Seven Stars, and Caster. Globally, JT is the #3 tobacco maker, trailing Philip Morris International and BAT. Its JT International arm, which owns Britain's Gallaher Group, makes and markets Camel, Salem, and Winston brands outside the US (once made by Reynolds American's RJR Tobacco), and others, and is a key driver of JT's growth. JT also has holdings in the food and pharmaceutical industries. In 1985 the firm shifted from a state monopoly to a public company; some 50% of JT is held by Japan's Minister of Finance.
