DIMON is the #2 leaf tobacco dealer in the world, behind Universal Corporation. DIMON buys tobacco from growers in the US and about 30 other countries, processes it, and sells it to cigarette and cigar manufacturers.

Philip Morris and R.J. Reynolds, DIMON's two largest customers, ring up about 30% of its sales.

The company controls about one-third of the world market for leaf tobacco.

DIMON has sold its non-tobacco operations and made cuts in its tobacco workforce in order to offset lower demand due to regional economic crises and tobacco litigation.
