Grupo Turrent, the Mexican tobacco powerhouse, has announced that Alejandro Turrent “has concluded his tenure” and is exiting the company. Grupo Turrent is based in Veracruz, Mexico, and comprises the company’s factory operation, Nueva Matacapan Tabacos S.A. de C.V., its tobacco farms, and the Casa Turrent cigar brand.

“We are grateful for the continued trust and support of our partners in the US and around the world, and we look ahead with confidence to our continued growth and collaboration, as we remain firmly committed to our mission: to preserve and elevate the artistry of Mexican tobacco, deliver world-class cigars, and foster enduring relationships across every market we serve.”
Ricardo Carioni and Gerardo Perez are assuming temporary responsibilities for the U.S. and International operations. No further information was given on Turrent’s departure from his role.
