Pakistan Tobacco Company
Pakistan Tobacco Company Limited is a Pakistani tobacco manufacturing company based in Islamabad. It is a subsidiary of British American Tobacco and the largest cigarette manufacturer in Pakistan. It operates two factories in Akora Khattak near Nowshera and Jhelum.
Pakistan Tobacco Company was incorporated on 18 November 1947, shortly after the partition of British India, when it took over the business of the Imperial Tobacco Company of British India, which had been operational in South Asia since 1905. It began its operations from a single warehouse near Karachi Port.
In 1956, Pakistan Tobacco Company was listed on the Karachi Stock Exchange.
In April 2019, PTC launched its "Made in Pakistan" exports initiative, becoming the fourth country in BAT's Asia Pacific and Middle East region to serve as an export hub, after Indonesia, South Korea and Singapore. The initiative initially focused on the export of cigarettes and processed tobacco to Saudi Arabia, the Gulf Cooperation Council and other Middle Eastern countries. In the same year, PTC introduced the nicotine pouch category in Pakistan with the launch of Velo, a tobacco-free oral nicotine pouch developed by BAT.
In December 2020, PTC announced plans to establish a business process outsourcing (BPO) hub in Pakistan to serve the Asia Pacific and Middle East regions. The shared services unit, which was relocated from Malaysia, was projected to create over 3,000 jobs over five years and generate approximately US$100 million annually in foreign exchange.
In May 2024, PTC announced its "Made in Pakistan 3.0" initiative for the export of Velo nicotine pouches to Japan.
In July 2025, Systems Limited acquired BAT SAA Services (Private) Limited, the BPO arm operated for the BAT group out of Pakistan, from British American Tobacco International Holdings (UK) Limited.
Pakistan Tobacco Company is engaged in the manufacture and sale of cigarettes, raw and semi-finished tobacco, tobacco-free nicotine pouches and vaping products. The company operates two cigarette factories, one in Akora Khattak near Nowshera in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and another in Jhelum in Punjab, alongside a dedicated Velo manufacturing facility also located in Jhelum.
