Company profile & history

Under the name Fridolin Spengler, tabacon has a decades-long tradition as a wholesaler. As tabacon Oberbayern we have been supplying retail and hospitality in the region with tobacco products, beverages and other ranges since the 1980s – combined with personal advice and our own logistics.

As a distributor of tobacco products we are close to the market. From daily contact with many points of sale we recognise early which brands and products are in demand.
