History

The year was 1997 when two former competors chose to join each other to form a common wholesale company in Helsingborg, which focused on food im- ports from the Balkans and the Middle East. This company was named Albina Food AB. The company grew and it quickly became one of the major Swedish suppliers in ethnic foods. In 2003 yet a vision materialized in the form of the company’s own roasng di- vision in Sweden which produces only on order to deliver fresh nuts. The com- pany began roasng, mixing and packaging nuts, seeds and kernels from all corners of the world. The snack segment grew at a record pace from a couple of 100 kg per day to several tons. Six years later, both owners realized that the nut segment had grown so large that a change was due. The me had come for both owners to go their separate ways and focus to a greater extent on what they knew best. Thus, Albina Snacks AB was born. Today we are proud to have achieved the vision of being the first dry roasng company in Scandinavia to offer wholesalers as well as the retail trade freshly produced nuts, seeds, grains and dried fruits from all over the world.
