Altria

Cigarette company parent

Altria is an American corporation, the parent company of Philip Morris USA and other tobacco businesses.

The name was adopted in 2003, replacing Philip Morris Companies Inc.—a rebranding that distanced the corporate identity from its cigarette brands.

Altria stock rose on news of the merger.
