Our mission

Like most of the people who dream to change the world, we also aimed high with our goal. Our mission is to create a world free from the smoke of tobacco.

We know quitting tobacco is not a one-step thing, so we invented high quality products to help you at each step of the process.

We endeavour to offer the best tobacco-free heat not burn sticks on the global market that come as pure joy for smokers who would like to live a healthier lifestyle. With FORTEA9 they can stick to their routines, while they make them less harmful by swapping the odorous smoke for the mild, fresh vapour of herbal heatsticks.

The easy way for a healthier lifestyle

With heavy investment on technology and innovation, we are focusing on new nicotine products that do not contain any tobacco, but effectively substitute traditional cigarettes to make quitting them an enjoyable process.

For the ones who are obsessed with the everyday habit of smoking, we created an alternative herbal, fruit infused heatstick in various flavours, both with nicotine and in nicotine-free versions.

By the two different product categories we intend to help smokers in the quitting process. We offer a step-by-step solution for them with the variety of FORTEA9 heatsticks. First, they can substitute tobacco and its smoke by a pleasant, natural vapour. After, they can select a new fruity, spicy, or refreshing flavour that helps them to leave nicotine behind. When the nicotine addiction is gone, they only have to change their habits  and replace the routine of smoking with heathier rituals and activities.

The company behind the brand

MAT International is a family business that was established 13 years ago for the purpose to constantly seek new alternative business solutions. Besides our extant activities in information technology, agriculture, tourism, and commerce we have set up our new goal.

Recently we decided to start our next project: to build the brand of FORTEA9, a unique product on the market of tobacco-free herbal sticks. Our aim is to make FORTEA9 an acclaimed and beloved brand all across the countries of Europe.

Proficient, exclusive partner factory

Our exclusive partner in the manufacturing and researching process is one of the world's leading research labs, which is devoted to the innovation of 100% tobacco-free products. They work with experts in medicine to help them extract the nicotine salt, keep the products as healthy as they can be, and make the vapour of FORTEA9 heatsticks the mildest, softest and most natural tasting on the Heat Not Burn market. Besides the well-balanced taste, the erudition of the experts and the particles made of high-quality herbs also made it possible to abolish the usual odour of the heatsticks and create the light frangrant vapour of FORTEA9 sticks.

The 80% of the process of production is automated in the factory for creating a high standard in the quality of the products. The advanced system uses AI technology to optimize and monitor every step of the production.
