dbo:abstract
  • Die U.S. Smokeless Tobacco Company (früher: United States Tobacco Company) produziert Smokeless Tobacco und ist seit Januar 2009 ein Tochterunternehmen der Altria Group, Inc. Die Firmenzentrale befindet sich in Richmond, Virginia. Die Produktionsstätten liegen in Nashville, Tennessee, in Franklin Park, Illinois und in Hopkinsville, Kentucky. Die führenden Marken der U.S. Smokeless Tobacco Company sind Copenhagen und Skoal. Dazu kommen noch Marken im Niedrigpreissegment wie beispielsweise Red Seal und Husky. Die Firmengeschichte beginnt 1822 als George Weyman, der Erfinder von Copenhagen Snuff, in Pittsburgh einen Tabakladen eröffnet. In den 1860er-Jahren beteiligte er seine Söhne und es wurde Weyman & Sons Tobacco daraus. Nach seinem Tod 1870 wurde der Name auf Weyman & Bros geändert. 1905 wird Weyman & Bro. von der American Tobacco Company gekauft. Nach der Auflösung der American Tobacco Company im Jahre 1912 wird im Anschluss daran die Weyman-Bruton Company gegründet. 1922 wird aus Weyman-Bruton die United States Tobacco Company. Aus dieser wird 2001 die U.S. Smokeless Tobacco Company. USST wurde 2009 von der Altria Group aufgekauft, zu der auch Phillip Morris gehört. (de)
  • U.S. Smokeless Tobacco Company (formerly United States Tobacco Company) manufactures smokeless tobacco products, notably dipping tobacco, but also chewing tobacco, snus, and dry snuff and is a subsidiary of Altria. Its corporate headquarters are located in Richmond, Virginia, and it maintains factories in Clarksville and Nashville, Tennessee, Franklin Park, Illinois, and Hopkinsville, Kentucky. Copenhagen and Skoal are the company's leading brands, and each represents more than $1 billion per year in retail sales. It also sells similar products, for a lower price, under the brand names Red Seal and Husky. It also produced Rooster until 2009, when Philip Morris decided to discontinue it. The company also produces several varieties of dry snuff. Skoal was one of the first moist tobacco manufacturers to offer dipping tobacco in pouches. Skoal Bandits, released in 1983, were marketed in the UK in the 1980s, but the carcinogenic tobacco pouches were banned amid public protest. This product has a small amount of tobacco in a pouch with a thin outer membrane and resembles a tiny tea bag. Skoal Bandits were invented by UST's marketing division, the manufacturing process was conceived by Gene Paules of UST, and the process was automated by David Westerman of the Automation Center, Inc., Nashville, Tennessee. Since then, Skoal has kept the Skoal Bandits products, but has also released regular-sized pouches, as well as snus, and offers pouches under the Copenhagen brand, as well. Parent company UST was purchased by Altria Group, which now includes Philip Morris USA, John Middleton Company and US Smokeless Tobacco. (en)
