Wills cigarettes

Wills is a historic tobacco brand that trace its roots back to the 18th century, becoming one of the most significant names in the British tobacco industry. Originally founded in Bristol, England, the brand has grown into a global presence, particularly known for its Gold Flake and Wills Navy Cut variants in international markets.

Today, the brand's production is decentralized across multiple locations to serve various regional markets, including prominent manufacturing hubs in India and the United Kingdom. Ownership is split depending on geography; for instance, ITC Limited manages and produces the brand in the Indian subcontinent, while British American Tobacco oversees the brand in several other global markets.

Currently, the ultimate ownership of the brand name resides predominantly with British American Tobacco (BAT) for international rights, reflecting the consolidation of the global tobacco market. BAT is a British multinational company that operates in around 180 countries, managing a vast portfolio of cigarettes and other nicotine products.
