De Notenbeurs

What De Notenbeurs does

De Notenbeurs B.V. is a Dutch B2B wholesale company founded in 1998 and headquartered in Zevenhuizen, the Netherlands. The company supplies peanuts, nuts (almonds, cashews, hazelnuts, macadamia, Brazil nuts, pecans, pistachios, walnuts), dried fruits, chocolate products, kernels, seeds, and rice crackers to six customer segments: specialty stores, ambulant/itinerant market traders, horeca, supermarket organizations, industrial food manufacturers, and export customers in Europe (including Germany). Products are available in pack sizes ranging from 50-kilogram bales down to 100-gram consumer packs, with in-house packaging operations established in 2004 and expanded over time. Distribution is B2B-only via direct sales, a trade webshop, and adapted packaging for international markets.

The company operates with no proprietary technology disclosed; its differentiation rests on a broad assortment, international sourcing expertise, content marketing (recipe database, "Noten lekker en Gezond" booklet, multi-language website), and food-safety credentials including FSSC 22000, SKAL organic certification, and the Rainforest Alliance seal. Revenue is generated through quote-based wholesale transactions across multiple channels, with no publicly disclosed pricing. Operational capacity has been progressively expanded through relocations and renovations in 2005, 2008, and 2013, and the 2010 integration of FlexFood BV strengthened export capabilities. De Notenbeurs is part of the Monchy Food Company group and participates in the Monchy Trivium Foundation, supporting sustainable agriculture and smallholder communities in origin countries.

Customer-facing activity is conducted through a field sales team of account managers, a B2B webshop (app4sales.net/notenbeurs), trade show attendance (e.g., Foodspecialiteiten in Houten), and digital channels including LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, and MailChimp newsletters. The company has 11–50 employees and is privately held, with revenue not publicly disclosed.
