Swedish Match North America Inc.

Richmond, VA United States

 

Company Description

Business is up to snuff at Swedish Match North America -- that's snuff tobacco. A subsidiary of Stockholm-based Swedish Match AB, the company (SMNA) primarily makes and sells moist snuff and, increasingly, General-brand snus (a spit-free, smokeless pouch) in the US. SMNA also ranks as the largest manufacturer of US chewing tobacco; Red Man is the country's #1 selling label. Snuff brands include Longhorn and Timber Wolf. Among other offerings, SMNA makes mass market cigars, sold under the ubiquitous White Owl and Garcia y Vega brands, and matches and Cricket brand disposable lighters. The company expanded its presence in the tobacco space when Swedish Match acquired premium cigar maker General Cigar (2005).
