24 Jan, 2026Tobacco International Inc., the company behind REBEL and KRATOS, has entered into a strategic distribution partnership with Wingglen Pte. Ltd., marking the official entry of the brands into Thailand.
As part of the partnership, REBEL tobacco-free nicotine pouches are now available across all departure terminals at Bangkok International Airport Duty Free, one of Asia’s busiest international travel hubs. The launch is accompanied by the start of local market distribution within Thailand.
The Duty Free rollout places REBEL in a high-visibility travel retail environment serving millions of international passengers each year, reinforcing the brand’s growing presence in global airport retail while supporting its broader expansion strategy across Southeast Asia.
“Airport Duty Free is one of the most important platforms for international brand discovery,” a representative of Tobacco International Inc. said. “Thailand represents a key gateway to the region, and this partnership establishes a strong foundation for long-term growth.”
Under the agreement, Wingglen Pte. Ltd., a Singapore-based distribution company, has been appointed to manage Duty Free operations and local market development for REBEL and KRATOS in Thailand.
REBEL and KRATOS are tobacco-free nicotine pouch brands designed for adult consumers seeking a discreet, smoke-free alternative without combustion or vapor. Both brands form part of Tobacco International Inc.’s international portfolio of modern nicotine products.
