Mac Baren: brands it owns and its ownership tree

Mac Baren is a privately held company headquartered in Svendborg, Denmark that owns 8 consumer brands.[1]

Mac Baren Tobacco Company is a family-owned pipe and fine cut tobacco maker in Svendborg, Denmark. Its own history page traces a small tobacco manufacturer set up in Svendborg in 1826, bought in 1887 by Harald Halberg, and says the Halberg family has run it for five generations. It was renamed Mac Baren in 1995 after the blends of Jørgen Halberg, bought Sutliff Tobacco in 2013, brands from Imperial Tobacco Group in 2015 and the German maker Planta in 2019, and sells in more than 80 countries. It also lists a smokeless line and a Ministry of Snus business, whose brands could not be sourced and are not listed here. It runs a pipe line called Backwoods; that name is left out because the Backwoods cigar brand is recorded under another owner.
