MR. JOSEPH LANG

Managing Director of Kenkko (UK)

Joseph Lang is the Ambassador and former Managing Director of Kenkko, one of Europe’s major buyers and sellers of cashews, almonds, walnuts, other nuts, seeds and dried fruit. Kenkko deals in global sales and distribution of over 55,000MT of product, specializing in the snack, confectionery and bakery industries.

Joseph Lang has been at the forefront of the industry for over 25 years, during which he has established strong relationships with growers, processors and packers. His considerable experience is an asset to his suppliers and customers who rely on him for valuable market information, advice and guidance.

Joseph specializes in identifying new market trends. He has been successful in pioneering the use of cashews in industries which traditionally did not use the product. By creating new needs, his efforts have increased demand for this product and increased sales for many suppliers which he has been working closely with.

Joseph Lang established Kenkko about 25 years ago in order to provide a valuable centralized systematic sales and purchasing service. Clients wanted one reliable partner who could provide them with extensive market information, premium service and a wide range of products at competitive prices.

Joseph Lang’s unique vision has ensured Kenkko’s place at the forefront of the industry. The company has provided suppliers and customers with prime bespoke service from origin to customer’s warehouse using sophisticated systems for efficient and accurate reporting.

Kenkko, under Joseph’s leadership, is committed to controlling and close monitoring of products at source, in order to maintain traceability and ensure that compatibility between sellers and buyers is achieved for mutual long-term benefit.

Joseph’s considerable experience and close connection with suppliers and customers enable him to anticipate and respond to the changing needs of the market. This is at the forefront of his efforts to improve understanding and relations between suppliers and customers through discussions and meetings at conventions and visits.
