Largest combustible tobacco manufacturer
Global Flagship Brands distributed in the Czech Republic
JTI is the fastest growing tobacco company in the Czech Republic, where we sell some of the most iconic cigarette brands and employ over 180 people.
Our history in the Czech Republic began when R.J. Reynolds (Czechoslovakia) opened its first branch in 1991.
Following the global acquisition of R.J. Reynolds by Japan Tobacco in 1999, the company name changed to JT International spol. s r.o. Back then, JTI´s market share was about 2%, and its brands included Camel, Monte Carlo, Slavia and Winston.
In 2007, JT acquired Gallaher Ltd, the largest acquisition of a Japanese company by then, which effectively doubled the size of the company. The integration of Gallagher made JTI even stronger with a brand portfolio comprising of Camel, Winston, Ronson and LD representing 8% market share.
Since then, JTI has been gradually increasing market share to its current quarter* share of the tobacco market. And we are well on our way to become the most successful and responsible tobacco company in the world.
