Anglo-American Tobacco Company
Its official name was the British American Tobacco Co., and in old China it was called Ying Mei Yan Gongsi. It was established in 1902 with capital of $24 million when the American-owned American Tobacco Co. and the British-owned Imperial Tobacco Co. merged, and is a multinational corporation with factories in Asia and Africa. Its head office was in London, but the Americans held two-thirds of the investment and directors. Since then, it has exported domestically produced rolled tobacco to China, and in 1903 (the 29th year of the Guangxu era) it established China's first tobacco factory in Shanghai, and in 1905 it transplanted American tobacco to Shandong.
