American Brands, Inc.

Japanese: アメリカン・ブランズ[会社](英語表記)American Brands,Inc.
American Brands, Inc.
A major American tobacco manufacturer. In recent years, it has been expanding its non-tobacco division, focusing on consumer goods. Its headquarters are in New York. The company was founded in 1890 when American tobacco magnate JB Duke merged five cigarette companies to form American Tobacco, Co. In 1904, the company merged with Consolidated Tobacco and Continental Tobacco, but was split up in 2011 due to antitrust laws. Subsidiaries separated at this time include BAT Industries, currently the world's largest tobacco manufacturer, and RJ Reynolds Industries, Inc., the largest in the United States.
