About
Your supplier in nuts and seeds with experience of more than 40 years
Aldebaran Commodities B.V. has been founded in 1997 by Paul van Velzen. At that moment he already had 15 years of experience in peanuts. He decided to follow his own path and from that moment on he has developed the company into a world-renowded business TOGETHER with a team of more than 20 person. We started in peanuts and this product remains our biggest volume business. In 2009 we have added sunflower as a product and from 2013 on we have added cashew, pumpkin and sesame to our portfolio.
Through our sister company Antares Commodities B.V., founded in 2015, we can also supply almonds, pecans, brazil nuts, macadamias and walnuts. Combined we import around 40.000 tons to Europe. We source our products directly from origins where we have established and developed solid and trustworthy relationships throughout the years.
