Return to Roots:
- Carreras initially left its Twickenham Park base in 2015, amid concerns of underutilized space and changed business priorities. Now, the company is gearing up to reunite its Jamaican operations at the new Automotive Parkway location, spanning 27,000 square feet of office and warehousing space.

Diversified Product Portfolio:
- Known for its cigarette brands such as British American Tobacco, Craven “A”, and Matterhorn, Carreras has also expanded its distribution portfolio to include Vuse, a globally recognized vaping brand. This diversification highlights the company’s adaptability in an ever-evolving market.
- Commitment to Sustainability:
- In recent years, Carreras has taken significant steps towards sustainability, particularly in its transportation fleet. Collaborating with JAMECO, the company introduced electric vehicles, resulting in substantial cost savings and environmental benefits. The ongoing transition to electric and hybrid vehicles underscores Carreras’ dedication to reducing its carbon footprint.
By consolidating its operations at the new campus, Carreras aims to foster increased efficiency, seamless product distribution, and strengthened inter-departmental collaboration. This strategic move embodies the company’s vision for "A Better Tomorrow," emphasizing resource optimization, cost management, and employee well-being.
As Carreras embarks on this transformative journey back to its roots, it stands poised to unlock new opportunities, drive operational excellence, and solidify its position as a leader in the Jamaican market.
