Young Pecan Company

About Young Pecan

Young Pecan was founded by T.B. Young, Sr. in the early 1920's in
Florence, South Carolina as a shipper of inshell pecans. In 1945, his
son, J. Givens Young took over pecan operations when the installation of
commercial crackers marked the company's entry into the pecan shelling
industry. The company grew steadily, forming a joint venture with Gold
Kist, Inc. of Atlanta, Georgia in 1992. This merged the pecan operations
of both companies to form what has become the largest sheller in the
pecan industry. The state-of-the-art shelling facilities in Las Cruces,
New Mexico; Florence, South Carolina; and Zaragosa, Mexico, as well as
the buying and storage facility in Albany, Georgia, are strategically
located to provide grassroots access to raw material from all of the
major growing regions in the United States and Mexico.

Young Pecan Company's primary business is to be an ingredient supplier
to the major food manufacturers in America and abroad. Because our
customer list reads like a Who's Who of the food industry, we are
accustomed to manufacturing pecans to the most exacting standards in the
industry. Our single-minded focus on pecans allows us to concentrate on
the crop and react to developments within our industry in a way that
none of our competitors can.
