Our History

Although the company today known as Altria Group has only been in existence since 1985, our operating companies have roots that stretch back, in some instances well over 150 years. Kraft Foods, for example, has its origins in 1767 when Bayldon and Berry began selling candied fruit peel to the citizens of York, England. In the mid-nineteenth century, Philip Morris, Esq. opened his retail tobacco shop on London's Bond Street. That modest venture has grown to become Philip Morris USA, the largest tobacco company in the U.S., and Philip Morris International one of the largest tobacco companies in the world. Over the centuries these companies have grown individually and, more recently, as part of the Altria family of companies.
