About SLD Commodities
SLD Commodities was founded in 1988 by Russell Lynch, who began his career trading cashews at Sunland Trading, a major food importer established in 1972. The name "SLD" reflects the company's origins with Sunland. In 2001, Russell's son Douglas joined the business, helping grow SLD into one of the largest importers of cashews and other tree nuts into the U.S.
In 2024, Sunland Trading acquired SLD Commodities from the Lynch family, bringing the story full circle. Douglas now serves as Vice President of SLD, leveraging his deep industry knowledge alongside Sunland's global reach and operational expertise. Together, we're focused on delivering value to our customers and suppliers in a complex and evolving market.
