About Philip Morris USA
An American Heritage Stretching Back More Than 175 Years
Philip Morris & Co., Ltd. was established in 1847 when the family of Philip Morris opened their first London tobacco shop and began making tobacco products that royalty and the working man alike would enjoy.
More than 175 years later, we’re the leading manufacturer of cigarettes in the United States (a position we’ve held since 1983). Headquartered in Richmond, VA, we now produce some of the most well-known brands in the consumer products industry. Read Our History.
A Premium Brand Portfolio that Leads the Industry
Marlboro leads our cigarette product portfolio and has been the top-selling cigarette brand in the U.S. for more than 45 years.
We also manufacture other strong cigarette brands, including Parliament, Virginia Slims and L&M. These brands are among the nation’s best-selling cigarette brands. In 2023, PM USA’s retail cigarette share was 46.9 percent.
Leading in Different Ways
We know our products aren’t for everyone. So we market them responsibly and as the preferences of our consumers and society change, we change too. Our leadership in the industry goes beyond having leading brands. It also includes how we address issues that are important to our business and to society. That means:
- Prevent Underage Use
- Supporting Cessation
- Communicating about the Health Effects of our Products
- Reducing our Environmental Impact
Our employees drive all of these efforts. Their commitment to product quality and responsibility is what has made us a leader for decades. To maintain this leadership, we invest in employees to build their leadership skills. We seek diverse and engaged employees at all levels who relish challenges and take initiative to deliver business results in a rewarding work environment. Learn More
