Incorporated in 2008, the HongyunHonghe Tobacco Group is the largest Chinese tobacco manufacturer. Since its incorporation, HongyunHonghe has attached great importance to the strategy of developing big competitive cigarette brands, and has made delightful achievements in this endeavor. In 2009, HongyunHonghe sold 212 billion cigarettes (4.24 million cases) and earned 35.41 billion yuan (5 billion U.S. dollars) in taxes and profits, a year-on-year increase of 7 percent. In the first quarter of 2010, HongyunHonghe produced 59.835 billion cigarettes (1.1967 million cases), up 2.63 percent year-on-year, and earned 11.918 billion yuan (1.7 billion U.S. dollars) in taxes and profits, up 12.01 percent year-on-year, signifying a good beginning on the basis of a high starting point in the year 2010. The famous trademarks of Yunnan Province are valid for a period of three years, in which the administrative authorities for industry and commerce at all levels in the province will grant special protection to them in accordance with law.
