Beyond the Leaf
In addition to our traditional leaf tobacco business, Universal continues to expand its offerings to include additional value-added services and products.
Blending Services
Our Blending Services Operation (BSO) provides custom tobacco blend formulation, on-going blend maintenance, and just-in-time delivery.
BSO’s proximity to the Deltafina Assissi green leaf threshing factory allows for synergies between factory personnel, production flexibility, and reduced need for destination storage. Its central European location provides access to many resources and markets.

Recycled By-Products
Carolina Recycled Ag Materials (CRAM)
Carolina Recycled Ag Materials operates a 12,800 square-foot compost facility in Nashville, North Carolina, adjacent to Universal Leaf North America’s (ULNA) tobacco processing factory. CRAM composts previously unused tobacco by-products, following strict temperature requirements to ensure high-quality compost.
Our Grade-A compost has higher nutrient levels, especially potassium, compared to other composts and can be used for various agricultural and landscaping applications, including row crops, turf, and highway beautification. The initiative reduces landfill waste and provides an environmentally friendly alternative to commercial fertilizers, benefiting both the community and environment.
HTL-DHT
HTL-DHT in the Netherlands recycles unmarketable tobacco by-products and specializes in producing cigarette filler and cigar products, like fillers, binders, and wrappers. The company has been an expert in naturally reconstituted tobacco since the 1950s, with a focus on quality control and unparalleled market knowledge.
Modern production methods and a deep understanding of how to manipulate the factors most critical to tobacco product manufacturers – color, strength, fragrance, moisture, and, most importantly, taste – gives HTL-DHT superior product adaptability. HTL-DHT can quickly rework its products to fit new ideas, changing customer requirements, and industry trends.
Traceability With Mobileaf ™
MobiLeaf™ tracks cultivation and harvesting data on the farm in real-time, including plot sizes, soil analyses, plant spacing, irrigation, and crop yields. This ensures accurate and up-to-date information throughout the crop’s life cycle.
MobiLeaf™ also tracks compliance with Agricultural Labor Practices (ALP), Good Agricultural Practices (GAP), anti-corruption laws, and local regulations. This helps ensure that all farming activities meet legal and industry standards.
By enabling data collection directly on-site, MobiLeaf™ increases accuracy and eliminates the need for re-recording data, making the process more efficient and reliable.
