Synergy Food

What Synergy Food does

Synergy Food is a Dutch B2B nut-processing company founded in 2002 and headquartered at Stevinstraat 3, 2652 XD Berkel en Rodenrijs (Rotterdam area), Netherlands. The company processes and supplies almonds and apricot kernels — both sweet and bitter varieties — in multiple forms including blanched, natural, roasted, whole, sliced, slivered, diced, and meal/flour. Its processing facility is differentiated as peanut-free, which is positioned to serve peanut-sensitive food industry customers without cross-contamination risk. Synergy Food operates modern production lines using what it terms an "ABC Production System" for blanching, roasting, dicing, slivering, slicing, grinding, and splitting, complemented by contracted work services and flexible packaging options (big bags, 10kg/12.5kg cartons, vacuum packaging).

The company sells primarily into three B2B segments: bakeries, bakery ingredient suppliers, and the broader nut market. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with multi-year contracts reflecting a customized, relationship-driven commercial model. The company holds FSSC 22000, GMP+, and Kosher certifications that underpin regulatory credibility in EU and international food ingredient markets. Synergy Food operates as a core entity within PrimeNut Group, a three-entity nut-processing conglomerate alongside Katjang Pedis (peanuts) and Swartberg (cashews, pistachios, macadamias, mixes, peanut butter), which collectively serve a diverse global customer base. Distribution is conducted exclusively through direct B2B sales — no retail or e-commerce channels are used.
