Reemstma was a privately-owned German cigarette group in 1991, and one of the biggest international tobacco marketers in 1994.[1] The full name is Reemtsma Cigarettenfabriken GmbH. In 2002, the European Union Commission cleared the takeover of Reemtsma by Imperial Tobacco Company for 5.8 billion euros.[2]
