About Us

Our History

The roots of ABL stretch back to 1924 and the founding of the Anchor Cigar Company in downtown Youngstown. Through the years, additional companies were acquired, and in 2007 all operations and resources were combined under one name, ABL Wholesale Distributors.

Sales Force

Our customers are served by a dedicated sales team whose members average over 30 years of experience in the tobacco industry and related areas of expertise. They will always go the extra mile to keep you in service and help you grow your business.

Technology

Along with best people, we offer the latest technology to allow you to access and manage your ABL account online. You can create, submit and view orders; manage retail pricing schemes; display and print invoices; generate reports; and even print retail shelf tags — all at your own convenience, 24 hours a day.

Why ABL?

The combined resources and buying power of ABL Wholesale Distributors mean you’ll always have the advantage of the most competitive pricing. At the same time, we are flexible enough to easily meet your individual needs and fulfill your special requests.
