Interesting article. Good to see that they are expanding. Also learned some new (to me) things: didn't know that Laudisi is sole US importer for Savinelli, or that they had merged with Cornell & Diehl...
I am glad it is expanding. Good news. Here in Europe the only thing that is expanding are taxes on tobacco and alcoholic beverages.
The only time "expand" is used in in the headline, in the article it says "$3.7 million facility upgrade" which could be expansion or new HVAC or warehousing systems. Nevertheless it's good to see them making investments for the future.
Sykes must be a good business man. I have only been at this since the early 2010's and how Laudisi has expanded in the short business time is impressive from my business eye.
Seems like a great place to work if you are about this life.

It looks like there is a lot of consolidation going on. Cup O Joes got bought out by Sutliff after having been a local company in my hometown for many years. As I understand it Smoking Pipes is also a Sutliff property now. And all my purchases from SP come from laudisi.
It's great to see small owners cash in. But I'm not sure if seeing everything go under the same tent is a great thing or not.
At this point any investment is encouraging I guess. And certainly any expansion is a positive.

True, but a more united front will more effectively battle silly regulation.
I'm all for Sykes Wilford expanding all he wants. There's no such thing as a perfect company but Laudisi might be as close as one becomes.
I think you mean that Tobaccopies.com is owned by Sutliff (as with Cup o joes the websites they both offer the same pipes and show the same number in stock) not Smokingpipes.com
I remember hearing on one of the podcasts (I think Shane Ireland) mentioning that they're moving to a 25,000 sq ft building so all the companies eventually can be under one physical roof.
News article in the Penny Saver that's 2 years too late and really doesn't say anything.
Good to know they are doing well in the past, the present and hopefully in the future. I need some place to buy pipe tobacco until I croak.
And no one could be bothered to even proofread the headline…
So much more could have been said.
It's good to see that there's still room for expansion in the business. I've been a customer of SP since day one. I'm happy for them and I think their success is well deserved.
I was aware that Tobaccopipes.com were a Sutliff property, but that Smokingpipes.com also is, that's news to me if the info is accurate.
Laudsi is the umbrella company over Smokingpipes.com, C&D, Petersons, and imports several other brands of pipes.
Yes, I knew, thanks.
But buddy I quoted was saying SPC belonged to Sutliff (which is a property of Mac Baren) so I was wondering about the accuracy of the info. He probably wrote 'S' when he meant 'T'.
