Imperial Tobacco Canada, Tobacco company in Montreal, Canada
Imperial Tobacco Canada occupies a white multi-storey building on a base of grey steps, its facade a grid of square windows. A tall red-orange slab rises past the white block, carrying a white sign reading "IMPERIAL TOBACCO CANADA LIMITEE" beside a yellow crown emblem, with a red geometric logo fixed lower down. Signs above the ground-floor openings read "IMPERIAL" and "3711", and a gridded canopy projects from the top-left corner.
The company was established in 1908 through a merger combining American Tobacco Company interests in Canada with several local manufacturers. This union created a major force in the Canadian tobacco industry.
Imperial Tobacco Canada manufactures numerous cigarette brands including Du Maurier, John Player Special, Marlboro, Matinée, Medallion, and Pall Mall for Canadian consumers.
The company operates a customer service center that can be reached by phone for inquiries and support. Career opportunities are also available through their online job portal for those interested in employment.
The 2015 Quebec Superior Court ruling against Imperial Tobacco exceeded $10 billion, the highest tobacco judgment in Canadian history. The court found the company failed in its duty of care to Quebec consumers before 1998 and ordered a $1 billion payment within 60 days, regardless of appeal.
