About
Swedish Match AB is a Swedish tobacco and smoke-free products company headquartered in Stockholm, founded in 1917 from the merger of several Swedish match and tobacco manufacturers. The company is the world's largest manufacturer of Swedish snus, producing portioned and loose snus in brands including General (the world's number-one snus brand by volume), Ettan, Goteborgs Rape, and Grovsnus. Swedish Match also manufactures ZYN nicotine pouches, a tobacco-leaf-free format sold in the United States and European markets, which has experienced rapid wholesale growth. Production takes place at Swedish factories in Gothenburg (snus) and other European locations. Distribution is managed through national wholesale partnerships and direct-to-retailer programmes in Scandinavia, with B2B importer and distributor agreements covering the United States, Canada, Australia, and growing European markets. Swedish Match supplies duty-free operators, specialist tobacconists, and tobacco wholesale chains with full-range snus and smoke-free nicotine product catalogues.

The ultimate warning sign: If a supplier refuses cards or escrow and only pushes for non-reversible payment methods, walk away immediately. This is the number one sign of a scam. Either insist on escrow or drop the deal.
Double-check the names: The name on the bank account must perfectly match the officially registered company name. If it doesn't, stop right there.
First-time orders: Always use an independent escrow service for your first order. This ensures the supplier only gets paid after you have the goods in hand.
