Sunland Trading is a family-owned, second-generation importer of honey. The company was founded in California in the early 1970’s as a subsidiary of Kimpton Brothers, a London trading house importing honey for the European market. After two years working for Kimpton Brothers in London, Nicholas Sargeantson moved to Los Angeles in 1976 to work for Sunland. Mr. Sargeantson took over as President of the company in 1979, relocated the company to Connecticut in 1983, and became sole owner in 1987. Nicholas is now joined by his sons, Tom and Andy.

The company’s focus is on the bulk importation of honey of all floral types and colors, from across the globe. All imports are meticulously controlled for quality and traceability, with suppliers vetted in accordance with FDA guidelines and our own exacting standards.

For over 40 years Sunland has developed relationships and industry experience that enables the company to provide an unmatched level of service to suppliers and customers alike. Sunland offers its customers the market knowledge, supply chain transparency, and purchasing expertise that allows them to make educated buying decisions in an increasingly complex marketplace.
