Tobacco International Inc. has announced the establishment of its head Operations Office in Coral Gables, Florida. This step represents a milestone in the implementation of the company’s transformative mission in the Tobacco Industry. The new base is an excellent choice to conduct business, which serves as a catalyzer in the progress of the company.

Indeed, CEO and Founder Atef Hazime, who is of Lebanese descent, believes that the State of Florida offers the optimal environment to ensure meticulous oversight of the production process from start to finish. Hazime's prime goal is to carry his Lebanese family heritage through his leading tobacco manufacturing company. Thus, by selecting the perfect location for operations and creating the best team, he ensures the achievement of his goal. The Hazime family has been in the tobacco farming industry for centuries, so the initial purpose behind the creation of Tobacco International Inc. is the extension of this long and rich legacy worldwide. Growing up in the tobacco-growing fields, Hazime gained tremendous insight into the challenging tobacco industry and wisely benefited from his comprehensive knowledge and expertise, which has given him leverage in the tobacco manufacturing business.

More importantly, Hazime is determined to conducting manufacturing operations that meet world-class standards, hence his choice of Florida. “This move is critical to offer the ideal supervision of high-quality, effective operations. Maximum efficiency, smooth delivery, and excellent outcome are the key elements that our company aims to provide. By opting for an ideal location, we ensure to cover all of them,” Hazime says.  Moreover, this step could potentially contribute to the enhancement of the economy of Florida by paving the way for further job opportunities. Tobacco International Inc. is also keen on integrating into the community of Florida, “by setting up our office in the State of Florida, we plan to make a change at the heart of its community,” adds Hazime.

In this regard, the company announced the appointment of Carlos Rapaport as its Chief Operating Officer (COO). Rapaport is an esteemed international trade executive in the U.S. wholesale & retail industry with more than 30 years of experience in corporate management and business development. In addition, the company announced the appointment of Kenneth Hauser as Vice President, who builds on over 20 years of experience in the tobacco industry, with a focus on manufacturing and quality assurance.

Additionally, Tobacco International Inc. is increasingly expanding and promoting its growth by becoming a public company, with over 1,000,000,000 billion shares in common stocks. By widening the shareholder base, this pivotal step will elevate the company and bring further expansion opportunities.

The ‘smokeless future’ vision 

Founder Atef Hazime is adamant about bringing forth Tobacco International’s smokeless future vision through the new less-harmful alternatives. The ‘white snus’ products represent the first official release of the smokeless line. Surely, Tobacco International’s vision mainly aims at building an “ethical and sustainable future” for adult smokers. 

Tobacco International Inc., along with its esteemed partners, has invested in developing and manufacturing reduced-risk tobacco products, which could incite adult smokers to cut down on smoking. The new smokeless line is a stepping-stone to a comprehensive plan that envisions a possible smoke-free world.
