This Silver 100’s

Two decades after its entry into the United States, local tobacco maker KT&G became the fifth best-selling cigarette company in the country.

The low price of THIS cigarettes, which used to be widely smoked in Korea in the 1990s, is the reason why. In its first month of sales in the United States in December 2017, KT&G sold 1.36 million THIS cigarettes – a figure that skyrocketed to 38.25 million in June 2018. By June 2019, that figure jumped to 200.4 million, almost fivefold from the same month a year earlier.

KT&G is particularly proud considering that the United States, along with China and Indonesia, are major cigarette markets that see fierce competition among some 100 global companies. KT&G’s market share in the United States now stands at fifth, ahead of JTI, or Japan Tobacco International, according to market research firm Euromonitor International.

KT&G history starts in 1883, founded as Sunhwaguk.

KT&G is headquartered in Seoul,​ South Korea. We are the 5th largest cigarette manufacturer in the world. KT&G has more than 130 years of cigarette manufacturing experience. We founded the Korea Monopoly Corporation in 1987 and changed the corporate name to KT&G Corporation in 2002.

KT&G USA is headquartered in Plano, Texas. We entered the US market with the introduction of Carnival in 1999. We then launched Timeless Time in 2010. We currently ship over 40 states through 450+ distributor partners. KT&G USA is also ranked 5th among national manufactures in the USA.

KT&G has gained a competitive advantage in the market through change and innovation, and is growing into a global giant company by leaping into the world market beyond Korea. In addition, we are trying to become a company that helps society through our various social contribution activities and are fulfilling our environmental responsibility by developing eco-friendly products and through resource and energy savings.
