Quality Brands in Growing Categories

With a rich history extending back to the early 1800s, UST Inc. is today a holding company for its principal subsidiaries: U.S. Smokeless Tobacco Company and Ste. Michelle Wine Estates.

U.S. Smokeless Tobacco Company is the world’s leading producer and marketer of moist smokeless tobacco products, including its two marquee brands, Copenhagen and Skoal, which outsell all others in the category. It also competes in other segments with Red Seal and Husky.*

Ste. Michelle Wine Estates produces and markets premium wines sold nationally through the Chateau Ste. Michelle, Columbia Crest, Snoqualmie and Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars wineries, as well as sparkling wine sold under the Domaine Ste. Michelle label. It also is the exclusive U.S. distributor of wines made by Marchesi Antinori of Italy.

UST's primary mission is to create superior stakeholder value by delivering long-term, sustainable and consistent earnings growth. To accomplish this, the company's current focus is on accelerating profitable volume growth for its smokeless tobacco business and maintaining momentum in its wine business by improving overall returns in line with the company's cost of capital.

With leading brands in growing categories, as well as talented people and a strong focus on product innovation and quality, UST is uniquely positioned to achieve these goals.
