 PROFILE
UST looks forward to business taking a dip. A holding company primarily for U.S. Smokeless Tobacco, UST is the US's largest manufacturer and distributor of snuff and chewing tobacco. Brands include Copenhagen, Skoal, Red Seal, and Rooster. Its International Wine & Spirits unit takes in 11% of total sales by producing two California wines under the Conn Creek and Villa Mt. Eden labels and premium and sparkling wines from Washington. UST also produces premium cigars (Don Tomás, Astral). Wal-Mart's McLane distribution unit rings up about 20% of UST's sales. Subsidiary UST International sells the firm's products outside the US, primarily in Canada.
