Who we are
If you can’t fly, then run. If you can’t run, then walk. If you can’t walk, then crawl, but by all means, keep moving.
Martin Luther King Jnr.

History
Over the course of the next 10 years the company incorporated Great Cape Nut Company and Nut Trade International. This helped secure additional import products as well as the wholesale market in South Africa.
A full integration of all the companies took place in 2003 and 2004. Shares were obtained in Global Nut Holdings; the latter had a focus on the primary processing and exports of South African peanuts and pecan nuts. The integration of global Nut Holdings took place in 2005 and Ambassador Foods, as it is known and loved today, was formed.
