Glatz GmbH has sold its grain and nuts divisons to TORQ Commodities AG
TORQ Commodities AG has acquired the grain and nuts trading divisions of Glatz GmbH, further strengthening its position in the international agricultural commodities market.
Glatz’s grain and nuts divisions comprise a well-established agricultural trading platform operating in Austria. The grain division focuses on a broad portfolio of cereals and oilseeds, supported by strong logistics capabilities, while the nuts division combines commodity trading and packaged goods, supplying international food retailers through an efficient and scalable supply chain.
TORQ is a fast-growing global commodities group specializing in the ethical sourcing, trading and distribution of agricultural goods and natural resources. With operations primarily across Asia and Africa, its product range includes oilseeds, grains, spices, minerals and metals. Founded in 2017, the company is guided by core values of transparency, on-time delivery, resourcefulness, quality and sustainability, and supports its operations with a robust infrastructure that includes risk management, logistics and global offices.
Glatz is an Austrian, fourth-generation family company established in 1892, operating in agricultural wholesaling as well as food import and brokerage. It specializes in grains, oilseeds, animal feed and fertilizers within agriculture. In the food sector, the company offers a portfolio of dry goods — including canned fish, rice, nuts and dried fruit — through both its own and well-known partner brands across Austria and Central and Eastern Europe.
Oaklins’ team in Austria advised Glatz on the sale of 100% of its trading business in the grain and nuts divisions.
