Employees
Since we established our business in Korea in 1992, JTI has been growing.
In addition to our headquarters in the capital city of Seoul, we have 10 depots nationwide and employ approximately 260 people. Each of them is contributing to our future growth.
JTI strives for continuous improvement and seek to lead, not just in the tobacco industry but beyond. With a straightforward approach where excellence is the benchmark for everything we do, our achievements are a result of the investments we have made in our brands, in innovation, and in developing our most important asset: our people.
Our goal is clear: to become the most successful and responsible tobacco company in the world. To achieve this, JTI is investing in our brands to ensure our products are the world’s best. JTI sets the highest standards for meeting customer satisfaction, adapting to the changing demands of our consumers, while investing in the communities where we operate to improve the lives of the people around us.
Our success is down to the achievements, commitment and talent of our people, the sharing of ideas and our enterprising approach that means we want to do things differently. There’s more to us than tobacco.
Brands
We make and sell some of Korea’s best-known brands
Mevius
Mevius, previously called Mild Seven, became the number one selling cigarette brand in Japan in 1977 – the year it launched. What made Mild Seven different from other brands at the time was its unique charcoal filter, pioneered by JT. It remains the most popular brand in Japan and many parts of Asia, and is growing in popularity around the world – already occupying the number three global spot*. As part of the brand’s evolution, Mild Seven changed its name to Mevius in 2013.
Camel
Camel has a history that stretches back more than 100 years. Launched in 1913, Camel was the first worldwide cigarette trademark. Today, it is JTI’s main international premium brand. It is sold in over 100 countries. JTI introduced Camel to Korea in 2011.
