About JPS
JPS is a value-segment cigarette brand Imperial sells in the UK, Germany and Australia. Imperial's FY2025 annual report describes creating JPS Slims for the German market after consumer insight identified unmet demand for a slim-format cigarette not offered there by any other mainstream international brand, and in Australia the report credits JPS with delivering moderate growth in the mid-price segment during the year.
