American Nuts
Founded in 1989, American Nuts Inc. began in a small facility of just 10,000 square feet. As customers became aware of our quality products, commitment to excellence, and dedication to offering a variety of services, we quickly grew to become one of the largest nut processors in North America. We are now a leading, full service importer of nuts, seeds, dried fruit, and other ingredients. Today, we have well over ten times our original space across three facilities, allowing us to offer custom roasting, bulk wholesale, ingredient sourcing, and more. Over the last few years, we have expanded our operations by offering in-house packaging, becoming a one stop solution for current and future customers. We pride ourselves on consistently investing large amounts of capital back into the company so that we can continue to provide state-of-the-art equipment, unparalleled customer support, and high quality ingredients and services to the many brands who trust American Nuts Inc.
