IWS Line Leader

Company Description: KT&G's history in Korea dates back to 1899, when the Imperial Household formed a monopoly bureau to control sources of tax revenues. In December 1948, a bureau was established by the Korean government to monopolize all tobacco and ginseng products. In 1988, KT&G was transformed into a government-run public corporation. In 2002, following the abolishment of the tobacco monopoly law, KT&G was transformed into a public corporation in an effort to liberalize tobacco importing, selling, and manufacturing. Since market liberalization, KT&G has been competing with domestic and foreign tobacco manufacturers, and today KT&G holds more than 60% of the total domestic market. This provides a strong basis for other businesses. KT&G is also obtaining remarkable results in the overseas market. Since first exporting ESSE to Middle Eastern countries in 1996, both the volume and number of brands, along with the number of target markets, have steadily grown. KT&G mainly exports its products to the Middle East and CIS countries, including Russia, and is currently widening its markets in Southeast Asia, America, and Eastern Europe. Direct investment for building manufacturing facilities has also been made in countries such as Turkey, Russia (to be established in 2010), and Iran. The main brand ESSE is becoming popular in the Middle East and East European markets, while other brands including PINE and Zest are also gaining popularity.
