About USSTC
In 2001, the company changed its name from United States Tobacco Company to U.S. Smokeless Tobacco Company (USSTC) to more accurately reflect its unique position in the tobacco industry. USSTC is a subsidiary of UST Inc. (NYSE: UST) and is the leading producer and marketer of the only growing segment of the U.S. tobacco industry, moist smokeless tobacco. The company's leading brands, Copenhagen and Skoal, each represent over $1 billion at retail. Our other brands include Rooster, Red Seal and Husky. The company is currently test-marketing Revel Tobacco Packs, a uniquely discreet option for adult smokers looking for an alternative tobacco product that allows them to enjoy real satisfaction without lighting up.
