ABOUT US

AP Esteve Sales

A.P. Esteve Sales, Inc., was established in 1979 as a trading company specializing in exporting dried fruits and nuts from California. Since this time, the steady and equitable management of this family business has enabled it to become one of the leading exporters in California with a reputation for integrity recognized worldwide.

In order to complete the organization, a vertical integration process has been implemented for the past 40+ years with the creation of a production base, A.P. Esteve Farms, and the establishment of a packing and processing plant, California Almond Packers & Exporters.

As a packer, processor and exporter, the organization has the overall flexibility to be fully committed to the world market of dried fruits and nuts.

Meet Our Family

The Esteve Family

The Esteve Operation is a multi-generational, family-owned business. Andre-Paul's experience in growing and marketing tree crops led to the development in 1979 of the A.P. Esteve Sales Office in Stockton, California. Later, California Almond Packers & Exporters and A.P. Esteve Farming operations were expanded in Northern California where Marie and Andre-Paul's family joined them in their dream. The operations are now run together by their three sons; Emmanuel, Laurent, and Mathieu. Their goal is to provide nutritious, delicious, and innovative products for your family. Through memberships and support of organizations that focus on good safety and continuous product research, they are poised to bring reliable, consistent walnuts and almonds from three to table every day.
