Tarsim

What Tarsim does

Tarsim Handelsgesellschaft mbH ("Tarsim") is a privately held German import/export company (GmbH) founded in July 2013 and headquartered at Meierstraße 14, Lübeck, Germany. The company's stated business is the wholesale supply of dates (the fruit) to wholesale buyers (de gros) and restaurants throughout Northern Germany. Its website describes a focus on the "responsible and equitable" handling of products delivered in cooperation with customers, and product literature emphasizes the nutritional content of dates, including minerals (calcium, iron, sodium, potassium, magnesium, zinc) and vitamins.

The business model is a straightforward B2B wholesale distribution operation: Tarsim imports and resells dates in bulk to commercial food service customers (wholesalers and restaurants) on a regional basis. There is no evidence of consumer-facing retail, e-commerce, or branded packaged goods; the website is a basic WordPress site and the digital footprint consists of Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, and Instagram pages. The company has 11–50 employees, no disclosed funding, no parent company, no subsidiaries, no patents or trademarks, no certifications, and no strategic partnerships on record.

Ownership and management sit with a single individual, Walid Tarsim, who serves as Managing Director (Geschäftsführer). The firm has operated continuously since 2013 without disclosed expansion, M&A, product line diversification, or geographic broadening beyond Northern Germany. Public revenue, headcount growth, and pricing data are not available, and the company has not registered AI/ML, API, or integration capabilities. In substance, Tarsim is a small, narrowly scoped regional commodity food importer with a single product line and no disclosed growth initiatives.
