Hongta Tobacco (Group) Co., Ltd. was founded in Yuxi City, the "Hometown of Yunnan Tobacco" in Yunnan Province, China in 1956. Following China’s policy of Reform and Opening-up, Hongta Group took series of reform and innovation measures such as boldly introducing advanced foreign technologies and creating the strategic thought of "Taking Tobacco Field as the First Workshop". As a result, it realized great development and built a number of famous cigarette brands including "Hongtashan", "Yuxi" and "Hongmei" favored by Chinese consumers, which made Hongta Group a landmark enterprise among its tobacco peers in China.
