 PROFILE
Manufacturing cigarettes may be dangerous to a company's financial health, but providing the tobacco for the smokes has proven safe so far for Universal Corporation, the world's #1 buyer and processor of leaf tobacco. The company selects, buys, ships, and processes leaf tobacco in the US and nearly 40 other nations. The leaf, primarily flue-cured (artificial heat) and burley (air-cured), is sold to cigarette makers. Universal also procures and processes dark tobacco used in cigars and smokeless products. The firm gets about one-fourth of its revenues from selling and distributing lumber and building products in Europe and trading agricultural products such as rubber, tea, dried fruit, and sunflower seeds.
