Makers of the most well-known cigarettes in the world—Marlboro
Philip Morris first saw the light of day when Mr. Philip Morris, in 1847, opened a shop on London’s Bond Street, selling tobacco and ready-made cigarettes.
Record-breaking profits
Philip Morris is the leader in manufacturing and selling cigarettes, tobacco, and nicotine-containing products. They are the makers of Marlboro, the world’s best-selling cigarette. Despite operating in an industry plagued by scandal, health concerns, regulations, and taxation, Philip Morris has continuously posted record-breaking profits and sales year after year.
Grown through acquisitions
As this industry is highly controversial, Philip Morris, early on, diversified their interests and expanded into international markets. By acquiring Miller Brewing in 1970, General Foods in 1985, and Kraft Inc. in 1988, Philip Morris became the world’s largest food corporation and beverage company in North America by revenue. Philip Morris is, on their behalf, owned by Altria.
