History

Alliance One International was established in 2005, as a result of the corporate merger between DIMON Incorporated and Standard Commercial Corporation.[5]

DIMON Incorporated was founded in 1995, and later in 1997 it acquired Intabex Holdings Worldwide, which was the world's fourth-largest leaf merchant at the time. The company’s acquisition of Intabex was considered as the biggest one of that kind in the leaf history. [6]

Standard Commercial Corporation, established in 1910, operated tobacco leaf business in Mediterranean area. It used to be the third-largest leaf merchant of the world prior to the merger of DIMON.[5]

Operations

In December 2013, the company announced the expiration of its offer to exchange up to $735 million of 9.875% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2021.[7]
