Foy, Jr., President of Universal Leaf North America, noted, "As the flood waters recede, we will begin to evaluate the situation in order to determine the exact extent of damage and the condition of the facility. Our hearts go out to the people of Rocky Mount who have suffered significant losses in this disaster." Universal Leaf Tobacco Company, Inc. is a subsidiary of Universal Corporation (NYSE-UVV), a diversified company with operations in tobacco, lumber, and agri-products.
