Fresh Nuts is about origin. About values. About a family tradition that stands for quality and trust – not just profit margins.
It all began in 1978, in Gaziantep – a region famed for its nuts, craftsmanship and flavour. With passion and soul and sophisticated know-how Senior Kilic built something from the ground up, a name that soon stood for quality beyond borders. Here, every pistachio, almond and walnut was a matter of pride.
That sense of pride was passed down – to his son, Kadir Kilic.
Founded in 1999 by Kadir Kilic, Fresh Nuts GmbH was built with one vision: to bring top-tier nuts to the world. But not at any cost – with care, with values. For us, sustainable growth starts with respect: for nature, for our partners, and for every person involved.
Much has changed since – we’ve grown into a global company. But our essence remains: uncompromising quality, meticulous attention to detail, and a strong sense of the bigger picture.
„Think global, act local – it’s not just a slogan. It’s how we live. I want to know where our nuts come from. And I want them to know us – not just as a brand, but as people.“
Meray, NRJ, Kerem – every sub-brand tells a piece of our story. And every brand comes with a promise: if you work with us, you’re part of the family.
That promise holds – for our long-time partners in Turkey, for our global distributors, for every customer who trusts what we do.
Trust isn’t built in a day. It grows – through time, through people, through presence.
„This isn’t a company I run. It’s something I live. And everyone who touches Meray should feel they belong.”
