John and Frank Germack (Sr.) came to America through New York’s Ellis Island in 1912 at the ages of 12 and 7, respectively. Longing for a taste of their homeland, the brothers started a business in Brooklyn, then in New York City to sell traditional food imports to the growing population of Turkish, Greek and Eastern Europeans making their way to the US. Frank Germack Sr. focused the company entirely on the import and roasting of Pistachios as well as other nuts, including Brazils, Cashews and Pignolia (Pine) nuts. Many of these nut varieties were also new to the US. In the ’50 and 60’s, the company moved from the regional market to a national producer of nuts. By the 1960’s, the Germack’s were importing 20,000 tons of pistachios, or more than 40% of the entire crop of three exporting countries. The company has endured into the third generation, and now the fourth generation of Germacks. With changing consumer tastes, Germack Pistachio has added over 100 new products including dried fruits and healthy mixes, in addition to gourmet chocolate covered nuts and special Christmas items. We are also one of the nation’s largest producers of squash (pumpkin) and sunflower seeds.
