Case Study: Régie Libanaise strengthens tobacco traceability and anti-counterfeiting with OpSec Security

Regie Libanaise Des Tabacs Et Tombacs cuts illicit cigarettes to 25% with OpSec Security

Régie Libanaise des Tabacs et Tombacs, a public institution managing Lebanon's tobacco industry, faced a significant challenge from illicit trade, which accounted for an estimated 25% of the market and caused major annual revenue losses for the national treasury. To combat this and work towards compliance with the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, they partnered with vendor OpSec Security to implement a comprehensive authentication and traceability solution.

The solution from OpSec Security included serialized tax stamps for full traceability, multi-layered security features to prevent counterfeiting, and consumer authentication tools. The program also provided online protection and monitoring. This implementation successfully underpinned security and transparency for Régie Libanaise, safeguarding vital government revenue and providing data to visualize supply chain dynamics and enforcement trends.
