Peanut & Tree Nut Processors Association

Introduction: Established in 1939, the Peanut and Tree Nut Processors Association (PTNPA) will celebrate our 75th Anniversary in 2014! PTNPA represents the owners and operators of companies (large and small) who shell, process, salt and/or roast peanuts and tree nuts. In addition, our members also supply equipment and services that are critical to our industry.

Mission: "To proactively advance America’s nut industry through professional networks, advocacy and education.”

Vision: The PTNPA is "The Voice of America’s Nut Industry”

As expressed in these Mission and Vision statements, our members and industry colleagues can be certain that the PTNPA will be enthusiastically participating in activities, discussions and actions that may not have been priorities in the past.

As current economic circumstances may challenge our member organizations, there is no better time for the Peanut and Tree Nut Processors Association, and our many members, to understand — and take a stand — for our unique, strong and growing industry.
