Our Story
Rooted in over a century of tradition
From a family legacy in Turkish dried fruits to our production operation in New Jersey — this is the Sunco & Frenchie story.
Two names, one passion
The Sunco & Frenchie story begins over a century ago in Turkey, where generations of the family built deep expertise in dried fruits and nuts. This knowledge — what to look for, how to handle, how to bring out the best in every harvest — was passed down and carried across the ocean.
Sunco Natural was founded in 2007 in the United States, bringing that generational know-how to a new market as an importer, processor and distributor. From the start, the company made a significant impact on the dried fruits, nuts, seeds and granola industry.
In 2009, Sunco Natural merged with "Frenchie," bringing together extensive industry experience with a culinary and hospitality expert touch. The result: Sunco & Frenchie — a company that treats everyday ingredients with a chef's care.
Today we operate from a facility in Pine Brook, New Jersey, equipped with two roasters, a wide range of packaging machinery, and the capability to handle toll roasting, seasoning, and packaging at any scale.
