Recently, the CEO of KT&G, Baek Bok-in, expressed his company's intention to become a "top global enterprise" and reach a sales revenue of 100 trillion KRW by 2027 during a vision declaration ceremony.
Bai Furui plans to elevate their tobacco and healthcare businesses to a global level within the next four years. They will prioritize their two primary pillars of the tobacco industry, which includes NGP (Next Generation Products), cigarettes, and healthcare products as their core businesses in order to maximize their competitiveness in foreign markets.
Baek Bok-in also revealed specific targets for each project. Cigarette sales are expected to reach 38 trillion won, NGP 28 trillion won, and health products 21 trillion won, totaling 80 trillion won, an increase of over 60% compared to last year's estimated 49 trillion won. The proportion of global business to total sales is expected to increase from last year's 33% to over 50% by 2027 (excluding real estate).
Therefore, Bai Furen will carry out a large-scale facility investment of approximately 4 trillion Korean won.
