A macadamia dream
Back in 2009, enjoying macadamia nuts was quite the challenge, as each packet came with its own tool for cracking them open. People took this in their stride, given that macadamias are famously tough nuts to crack. However, our visionary CEO and founder, Hoan Bui — who comes from Lam Ha, a region dotted with small macadamia farms — began to question: “Is there any better way to open and enjoy these delicious nuts?”.
This question is the very first beginning of TBK Green Food’s journey.
Over the past 15 years, we have pioneered the hand-opened technology for macadamias, ensuring that every nut is opened with care and precision. Not just that, we are also indeed the first pioneering manufacturer to implement Blade-cut technology.

A family-run macadamia farm
Founded in 2009, we emerged from humble beginnings as a family-run macadamia farm, driven by a passion for quality and innovation. The journey began with a groundbreaking invention—hand-opened technology for specialty NIS macadamia nuts—that set the foundation for what would become a market-leading enterprise.

TBK Green Food JSC
In 2013, TBK Ltd was founded alongside the opening of the Queens Factory 1, initially staffed by just 20 dedicated employees. The commitment to excellence and growth was evident from the very beginning. By 2016, the factory's capacity soared to an impressive 500 tons a year, marking a significant milestone as TBK Green Food transitioned into a Joint Stock Company (JSC) with foreign direct investment from Australian farms.

Pioneering Innovation: The Blade-Cut Revolution
The following years saw remarkable advancements—by 2017, the Queens Factory workforce expanded to 100 workers, solidifying TBK GREEN FOOD’s position as the first manufacturer to implement Blade-cut technology in macadamia processing. This innovation not only enhanced product quality but also increased production efficiency.
