About Young Pecan
In the early 1920's, in Florence, South Carolina, T.B. Young founded Young Pecan Company as a shipper of inshell pecans. In 1945, his son, J. Givens Young took over pecan operations. It was around this time that Young Pecan entered into the pecan shelling industry. The company grew steadily and formed a joint venture with Gold Kist, Inc. of Atlanta, Georgia in 1992. This merger brought together the assets, resources and aspirations to become the largest sheller in the pecan industry. The Young Pecan organization included state-of-the-art shelling facilities in Las Cruces, New Mexico; Florence, South Carolina, and Zaragosa, Mexico, as well as buying and storage facilities in Albany, Georgia. These strategic locations provided immediate access to raw materials from all of the major growing regions in the United States and Mexico, and convenient distribution channels to customers.
