Added Value Products (AVP)
In its AVP business CNT provides customised tobacco blends for all tobacco product segments in cut, threshed and pre-blended form. Based on CNT’s leaf operations and strong sourcing capabilities AVP can operate from a broad international leaf pool centralised in Europe. The developments are carried out in house by a team of blending and flavour experts according to customers’ specifications. CNT’s blends are primarily produced in the company’s operation in Belgium.

CNT does not produce or distribute cigarettes or any other finished tobacco products.
