Supply Chain Excellence

Value Chain

We believe you get what you give—that is why we are involved in the growing process each step of the way. Through direct contracts, we provide agronomic expertise and technical guidance prior to and during the growing and curing seasons.

  • Step 1

    Crop Science & Value Chain

    We contract with thousands of growers worldwide, providing agronomic expertise and technical guidance throughout the growing and curing seasons. Our commitment ensures continuous improvement in crop quality and yield while maintaining responsible production practices.

  • Step 2

    Grading

    Tobacco is graded based on stalk position, color, texture, elasticity and leaf size. We grade tobacco before purchasing and again at our processing plants to precisely define leaf characteristics and ensure quality standards.

  • Step 3

    Processing

    In our manufacturing facilities located near key production areas, we process tobacco to meet precise customer specifications for quality, yield, chemistry, particle size and moisture content with rigorous laboratory quality control.

  • Step 4

    Blending

    Tobacco is blended to customer specifications, threshed to remove stems, and processed into strips. We separate scrap and also supply un-threshed flue-cured and burley tobacco in loose-leaf and bundle forms for specific customer needs.

  • Step 5

    Logistics & Storage

    Our global logistics team handles export formalities and timely shipments with precise documentation. Processed tobacco is re-dried to optimal moisture levels for extended storage capabilities, supporting product quality over time.

  • Step 6

    Quality Leaf & Value-Added Tobacco Products

    Beyond premium leaf supply, we offer value-added tobacco products, including cut rag manufacturing, custom blends, menthol and flavor applications.
