BAT cigarettes, including the popular Ardath brands, continued to be imported to Cyprus by Tseriotis.Footnote 100 In 1951, after purchasing land near Atatrk Square in Nicosia, BAT built a large factory under its Ardath brand (See Figure 5) where it manufactured various brands of cigarettes, such as Savoy and its flagship brands, State Express 333 and 555.Footnote 101 This made Cyprus very important for BAT, shown by the fact that it had its own department and was the only country to do so, with other departments consisting of continents or groups of countries.Footnote 102 While BAT, through Ardath, was now producing cigarettes in Cyprus, Tseriotis continued to import various brands of BAT-Ardath cigarettes and in 1957 expanded its sales offices in Nicosia, by opening a large store on Leonidas Street, while maintaining the one on Phaneromeni Street.Footnote 103 Therefore, BAT was the first of the international, multinational companies to unite its importer, Tseriotis, who became managing director of Ardath Cyprus, with cigarette manufacturing in Cyprus through its new factory
