The Journey
Began in 1985 in Malatya, Turkey—a region known for its world-best apricots.
As a family business, we built our reputation by exporting the finest dried apricots all across Europe, establishing strong relationships and a commitment to quality that set us apart from other companies in this industry. With a vision to expand beyond Europe, we set our sights on the United States. In 1998, we took a bold step forward, beginning to import our premium apricots into the U.S. market. Recognizing the growth potential, we officially established our first importing company in Long Island City, NY, in the year 2000.
As our business flourished, we saw an opportunity to evolve. In 2007, we joined forces with a respected snack company, merging our expertise in dried fruits with their confectionery mastery. This strategic partnership led to a rebranding, marking a new era of innovation, expansion, and a broader product line that catered to a growing market. What began as a humble family venture has since evolved into a global leader in natural food manufacturing. Our journey has been shaped by passion, perseverance, and an unyielding dedication to excellence. Today, we continue to grow, delivering nature’s finest offerings to customers worldwide—all while staying true to our heritage of quality and integrity.
And this was just the beginning...
