About Us

Our journey began in 1978 in Gaziantep (Turkey) and continued in Germany, America, Canada and China. Today we are present in more than 50 countries.

Thanks to the highest product and packaging quality, we have once again been awarded the IFS certificate at a higher level. We are always keen to keep developing and to optimize our processes. Last but not least, we also share these experiences with our business partners in various countries and are happy to pass on our know-how.

Our goal is to understand the nut market around the world and to make our brand so well known that no one can get past us at the international level. We want to offer products that exceed the requirements and expectations of our customers, and to be one of the leading consumer-oriented nut producers not only on the Turkish market but also on the global market.

It All Began in 1978

in Gaziantep, a region that stands for nuts, flavor and craftsmanship like hardly any other. There, Senior Kilic laid the foundation for what Fresh Nuts is today, with passion and expertise. Pistachios, almonds, walnuts – every product was a matter of honor. The company quickly became known for its quality far beyond the country’s borders.

He passed on his knowledge, his standards and his values to his son, Kadir Kilic. The next step followed in 1999: with a clear vision and just as much passion, Kadir Kilic founded Fresh Nuts GmbH. His goal was to bring world-class nuts to the world – not arbitrarily, but with conviction. For us, sustainable growth always begins with respect – for nature, for our partners and for the people who work with us. A small team grew into an international company.

Much has grown, but one thing has stayed the same: our uncompromising commitment to quality, our eye for detail and our sense for the bigger picture.

“Think globally, act locally – for us, that is not a slogan, it is our reality. I want to know where our nuts come from. And I want to be known there – not only as a business partner, but as a person.”,

says Kadir Kilic. Today, we welcome everyone who works with us and take them into our family. This promise applies to our long-standing partners in Turkey as well as to retailers and customers all over the world. Because trust does not grow overnight – it develops over years, through personal encounters and lived values.
