STI’s mission is to partner exclusively with Medium sized companies in the provision of tobacco and services for the long term.

STI has established itself directly with major indigenous producers/processors to remove traders and leaf merchants from the supply chain thereby allowing STI to source at best prices and to ensure that medium sized companies that choose to work with it will always have security of tobacco supply for the long term.  Over the past years, STI has supported tobacco farmers substantially.

Now, STI is exporting its products to India, China, other Asian countries, the Middle East, Europe, etc.  Business is rather active.

Besides, the subject, STI has had associated companies in Mauritius, South Africa, India, etc.

The subject’s business in Hong Kong is not active.  History in Hong Kong is over a year and six months.

Since the subject does not have its own operating office and has no employees in Hong Kong, consider it good for business engagements on L/C basis.
