Gold Flake was originally produced by Stephen Mitchell & Son, a small tobacco firm located in Glasgow, Scotland, which was acquired by W. D. & H. O. Wills in 1901, shortly before they became a founding company of the Imperial Tobacco Group. The Mitchell name and their sovereign trade mark was used on Gold Flake cigarettes sold in the United Kingdom and Europe, while Wills' name and trade mark appeared on Gold Flake cigarettes sold through the rest of the world.
In Canada, Gold Flake was produced by Imperial Tobacco Canada up until the 1950s. The brand is still made in India by I.T.C. Limited, where (as well as in neighbouring Pakistan) it has retained its popularity.
