British American Tobacco in Vietnam

BAT ON GLOBAL SCALE
We are British American Tobacco, a truly global company with a highly successful past and an exciting future ahead of us. 

We are – a truly international company, often among the top five companies on the London Stock Exchange and market leaders in more than 55 countries. We strengthened our global presence even further in 2017 when we acquired Reynolds American Inc., making us one of the main players in the U.S. market too.

We’ve been around a long time – since 1902 in fact – and have evolved into one of the world’s leading consumer goods companies, proud of our history and excited about the opportunity to write a new chapter in our success story.

There are 55,000 BAT people worldwide. Many of us are based in offices and factories, but lots of us also spend our time out on the road, helping and advising tobacco farmers, and the retailers who sell our products; both valued partners who have always played a major part in our success.

BAT IN VIETNAM
BAT started its operations in Vietnam in October 1994, and has been one o the leading international FMCG multinational companies in the past 24 years in Vietnam. 

In 2001 BAT established a partnership with Vinataba, through a joint venture company named British American Tobacco-Vinataba, with the main business function of growing and processing tobacco.

In 2004, the British American Tobacco-Vinataba officially operated a plant in Dong Nai Province to supply cut rag to Vinataba and other factories. This is acknowledged as one of BAT’s most modern processing factories in the world.

In 2014, BAT formed a second partnership with Vinataba by establishing the VINA-BAT JV Co. to produce cigarette sticks.

To become the tobacco industry’s leader, we have to continue proving ourselves as a responsible tobacco company with talented employees, powerful brands, highly complies with the local law and contributes to the community where we are operating. 

We have set our 5 key strategic pillars which are believed will help us achieve the above targets.
