More WIRE STORIES about this company

 PROFILE
The Marlboro Man can buy both his leaf tobacco and wool for his coat from Standard Commercial. The tobacco merchant is the world's third-largest processor of leaf tobacco (behind Universal and DIMON). Standard Commercial buys its tobacco at auction or directly from growers in more than 30 countries and processes it in 20 plants worldwide. The tobacco is sold primarily to large, multinational cigarette makers. The company also buys and processes wool, selling to yarn and textile makers. (Wool generates about a fifth of its sales.) Non-US customers account for about 80% of Standard Commercial's sales. The family and estate of the late chairman emeritus Ery Kehaya own nearly one-fifth of the company.
