Through the Years

A timeline of the people, moments, and milestones that shaped the NutRoasters story.

1925

The family craft begins

Grandfathers mother inherited the business from her father, her family name is Chami. Grandfather (Badriyeh) and her husband (Abdul) ran the business (nuts & confectionary)

1970

Landing in Sydney

On the 16th of January, Jimmy migrated to Australia and settled in East Gardens with a dream to grow the Afiouny legacy. He joined Leylands Car Dealership and made manager within six months. On weekends he roasted nuts in his garage, selling them to workmates through the week.

1982

Nutroasters is Born

The Greenacre shop had been the heart of the operation for years. Jimmy rebranded it as Nutroasters a name that spoke plainly to what the family had been doing for three generations. It was the last name the business would ever need, and the one it still trades under today.

1984

A Business Takes Hold

The Australian side of the family business began to solidify. As it grew, so did the expectations at home. All the children put to work, learning the trade the same way their father had. Tarek was born that same year.

2000

The Computer Age

The computer age reached the warehouse floor. What had been run on paper, ledgers and memory for three generations started moving onto screens — the first real modernisation of how the business worked.
