Vertical integration API is a strategic extension of APGG with a new 135K square foot facility to increase shelling capacity and produce Ready-To-Eat peanut ingredients, presenting cross-sell opportunities to existing grain and peanut buyers and potential co-manufacturing partnerships.

Growing capacity The parent company APGG processes around 250K tons of peanuts annually and operates multiple points including shelling, blanching, cold storage, and warehouses, creating upsell potential for API’s ingredient products to current suppliers and customers in the peanut value chain.

Mid-market focus With a moderate employee base and a revenue range of 10–25 million, API targets scalable growth opportunities among mid-market food manufacturers seeking integrated peanut ingredients and reliable supply, differentiating from large-scale peers.

Tech-enabled ops Existing tech stack (MySQL, cloud services, analytics, web controls) signals potential for data-driven sales motions, supply transparency, and EDI-friendly ordering for new customers in snack, bakery, and ready-to-eat segments.

Quality and safety The focus on dry roasted peanut ingredients and cross-vertical integration positions API to target quality-conscious buyers (functional ingredients, allergen controls, traceability) in the growing peanut-based product trends.
