Beyond its core product offerings, the company, through its Logista subsidiary, provides vital logistics and distribution services for tobacco and NGP manufacturers, alongside various non-tobacco and NGP goods and services. Headquartered in Bristol, United Kingdom, and founded in 1901, Imperial Brands PLC reported robust full-year performance for fiscal 2025, demonstrating growth in tobacco and NGP net revenue, driven by strong pricing strategies and a notable double-digit increase in NGP sales. The company's strategic vision, outlined in its 2030 strategy, focuses on delivering sustainable value in key combustible markets while building scale in next-generation products, supported by a commitment to enhanced shareholder returns through dividends and share buybacks. Recent leadership changes saw Lukas Paravicini appointed as CEO in October 2025.
