Republic Technologies is returning to the National Convenience Show (NCS) in 2025 with a sleek stand for OCB hand rolling paper products.
OCB is the the fastest growing hand rolling paper brand, according to IRI Marketplace for the 52 weeks to December 24 2024.
And the supplier will be displaying the range, including OCB Rice, which was launched last year with natural ingredients targeting smokers seeking more sustainable products.
Rolling papers is an important area. It is the best-performing sector in tobacco accessories, growing at +7.8% and worth over £81m in the convenience channel, says the IRI Marketplace data.
Gavin Anderson, sales & marketing director at Republic Technologies, says: “The NCS Show is a great event, as it helps us to connect with retailers and key contacts, positioning our brands front of mind and driving leads.
“OCB has gone from strength to strength over the past few years, so we’re looking forward to showing attendees the full range and explaining why it’s the brand of choice for shoppers and a must-stock for retailers.”

The National Convenience Show takes place on April 7-9 2025, at the NEC in Birmingham.
