Turning Point Brands, Inc. (“TPB” or “the Company”) (NYSE: TPB), a manufacturer, marketer and distributor of branded consumer products, including alternative smoking accessories and consumables with active ingredients, announced today that it has entered into an agreement with Flamagas, a renowned lighter manufacturer, for exclusive distribution of CLIPPER® lighters in the United States and Canada.

CLIPPER is the number one reusable lighter in the world and the number two overall world lighter brand. CLIPPER is currently available in several leading retail chains with growing presence in additional retail outlets, dispensaries, smoke shops and headshops. Its products are grounded in over 60 years of manufacturing experience and continuous investment in producing the safest premium lighters made by Flamagas. Through its unique, iconic cylindrical shape and trendy collections, CLIPPER® has become the lighter of choice for its loyal global consumer base as well as the preferred partner for leading brands and retailers in the roll-your-own cannabis and tobacco markets.

“Given Flamagas’ global reach and renowned product portfolio, this partnership represents a tremendous opportunity to expand CLIPPER’s reach in the United States and Canada,” said Frank Vignone, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Turning Point Brands. “CLIPPER and Zig-Zag create a powerful combination of iconic premium brands in the roll-your-own market perfectly suited to leverage Turning Point Brands’ distribution infrastructure touching over 210,000 retail outlets in North America.”

“Turning Point Brands is the ideal partner for us to expand CLIPPER’s already strong global following,” said Jordi Marce, Chief Business Officer at Clipper. “CLIPPER has a proven marketing model that has led to success with our partners in other regions, including establishing the leading position in major markets in Europe, Middle East and other worldwide areas.
