Our Smokeless segment is driven by the Stoker`s® brand with a proud heritage dating to 1940. Stoker`s competes in the chewing tobacco segment, where it has grown to the #2 position, and in the moist snuff segment, where it remains one of the fastest-growing brands. The portfolio also includes Beech-Nut®, launched in 1897, and a diverse collection of other chewing tobacco brands that offer a variety of consumer choices and tastes. Our Smoking portfolio includes the world-famous Zig-Zag® brand, with a proud heritage of leadership dating to 1879. Winner of the 1900 World`s Fair Gold Medal for being the first interleaved rolling paper, it remains the leading premium paper in both the United States and Canada today. Over the past decade, Zig-Zag® has successfully expanded its consumer franchise into new product categories such as Make-Your-Own (MYO) cigar wraps, hemp paper and paper cones. Our NewGen vapor portfolio includes our B2B (Vapor Beast®), B2C (International Vapor Group®) vape distribution platforms along with our new product development engine Nu-X Ventures.

The world`s first SaaS experience platform for Communications Service Providers. At Plume, we believe that technology isn`t about moving faster. It`s about making moments better. Which is why we`ve brought relentless focus to understanding the digital lifestyles people want to live, the spaces where they play out, and innovating ways to make digital experiences blossom. As the only open and hardware-independent solution, Plume enables the rapid delivery of new services for connected homes, small business, and beyond at massive scale. For residential subscribers, Plume delivers self-optimizing WiFi, cyber-security, access controls, and more. Our purpose-built suite of smart services turns small business networks into fully connected, business intelligence platforms. And Service Providers get robust back-end applications for unprecedented visibility and support. Our goal is simple: to keep you in the flow with any experiences you turn on. And to help you fill the spaces that matter to you with all kinds of wonderful. With a bias for action and love for breaking molds, the team at Plume embodies a combination of relentless curiosity and imaginative innovation. We constantly challenge ourselves to think in ways that other companies don`t, and work to do what should be done (rather than what can). It`s how we`ve assembled a team of world-class engineers, thinkers, and doers. And it`s how we`re reinventing what`s possible every day. We believe that the core competitive advantage in the over-the-top era resides in the ability to create new services at high cadence, deploy them at massive scale, and to orchestrate through a common data set. Our flexible, cloud-controlled platform paired with an open-source software stack decouples service creation and delivery from dependence on proprietary hardware.
