Tobacco Technology

TTI is a private flavor house dedicated exclusively to all aspects of the tobacco flavoring business. TTI was founded by Duke Cassels-Smith in 1975 outside of Baltimore, Maryland, USA - the hub of the trade region and the heart of Maryland tobacco growing country. TTI's familial heritage is a cornerstone of the company's reputation. It maintains a tradition of tenacity, trust, and confidentiality while the business has evolved to meet the needs of the global market. Today, TTI is staffed by experienced scientists and industry leaders who are attuned to the highest standards of production and customer service. TTI is agile in serving large multinationals, state run monopolies, and a growing number of specialty players in the US in the ever-evolving tobacco industry around the world. The TTI account team has strong personal histories and relationships abroad. In the Asia Pacific region, TTI has demonstrated its commitment by appointing a President of the region. In its more than thirty-seven year history, TTI has experienced over 95% retention among its clientele. The average customer relationship spans over a decade - with changes due only to industry shifts, mergers, or other uncontrollable factors. TTI thrives on change and has continually adapted to its clients changing requirements while maintaining product superiority, breadth and depth of product choice, technical expertise, international presence, impressive time to market, and an overall innovative spirit. TTI has created a loyal following among its customers in an industry that is undergoing consolidation and repositioning. TTI has a significant presence in this very tight industry which has a few powerful players, a total market of several hundred, and selected newcomers. As a company TTI has managed its growth in order to continue to invest in the future. TTI has expanded its manufacturing facility and state-of-the-art research laboratory to continue to enhance its services to the industry. The control of product quality, including ingredient pedigree, of all flavors produced at TTI is critically important. To assure this, TTI uses the Sage PFW production and procurement system as well as standard operating procedures and quality control systems.
