US – world's largest snuff market

May 10, 2007 10:00 PM CET

The American snuff market is growing constantly, and demand is increasing every year. As restrictions on smoking become more widespread, more and more smokers are seeking smokeless alternatives. Swedish Match is one of the players in this growing market.

Tradition and innovation

May 10, 2007 10:00 PM CET

Greatly simplified, production of snus requires only tobacco, water and salt. For Swedish Match, however, the production of quality snus is an advanced and highly technical process that begins long before the tobacco reaches the plant.

Snus is better than cigarettes

May 10, 2007 10:00 PM CET

An increasing number of researchers consider that smokeless products are a good alternative for people who find it difficult to stop using tobacco completely. Proponents of Harm Reduction, which is a strategy for reducing the harmful effects of smoking, believe that there are major health gains to be realized if smokers replace cigarettes with significantly less harmful smokeless products.

Not without my snus

May 10, 2007 10:00 PM CET

Swedish Match has nearly 20 different brands of snuff and snus, but Swedish golf pro Fredrik Jacobson knows which brand he prefers. “General is without a doubt my favorite snus, I have used it for 15 years,” says Fredrik Jacobson.

Market leader in Scandinavia

May 10, 2007 10:00 PM CET

With market shares of nearly 90 percent in Sweden and Norway,* Swedish Match is the Scandinavian leader in the snus market. Despite increased competition from international tobacco companies, Swedish Match has a strong market-leading position. The key to success is an intense focus on product development and continuous dialogue with customers.

Lancet: Snus positive for public health

May 9, 2007 8:00 AM CET

Bans on snus or overstated propaganda against the product are not a sound public-health policy, since cigarette smoking is the overshadowing health problem. This is the conclusion reached in today's issue of the respected medical journal The Lancet.

We’ve just finished planting 20,000 mahogany plants that will grow and restore the natural flora," says Carlos Thomen proudly.

In autumn 1935, the idea was conceived of developing a special brand to place on ordinary boxes of matches, which would be sold at a higher price. The surplus would go to projects designed to serve the interests of children in the community. The man behind the idea was Mathias Hallgren, a director in Svenska Tandsticksbolaget´s sales company. The Solstickan Foundation was established in 1936.

Feb 22, 2005 11:00 PM CET

Operations developed favorably during 2004 and sales increased by 3 percent in local currencies. Volumes increased, particularly for cigars, as well as snus. Operating income increased and was affected by several items of a nonrecurring nature. The settlement with UST at the beginning of the year resulted in an income item of 1.5 billion SEK before tax, while write-downs, allocations to reserve and costs for rationalization measures were charged against earnings. Earnings per share rose to 5.61 SEK (4.68), and the Board of Directors has decided to propose that the dividend for the year be increased to 1.90 SEK (1.70).

Forty years after the risks of smoking became known, anti-smoking campaigns have had only limited success. Hopes of eliminating tobacco use in society in the foreseeable future seem increasingly unrealistic.

In Sweden, snus habits changed at the beginning of the 19th century, when placing moist snus under the upper lip became a widespread practice.
