Caracitas Corp

International Coconut was founded in 1977 in Hoboken, New Jersey by Arthur Kesselhaut. Arthur has more than 50 years of experience in the coconut industry having worked for Franklin Bakers and Sunripe Coconut. In 1986 we needed more space and we moved to our current location of Elizabeth, New Jersey. Now our facility is very accessible to the ports of Newark and Elizabeth, where all of our containers of coconut arrive. In 1988 International Coconut was joined by Arthur's son Richard who came to the business with a Masters in Finance. International Coconut was originally started as a small processor of sweetened coconut under a private label. Over the years we have not only added desiccated coconut and toasted coconut to our lines, but we also produce under our name as well. International Coconut is a well respected name in the food industry. We maintain the highest quality standards for our products while striving for the most competitive pricing in the industry. Our NJ plant adheres to the strictest HACCP program. We are able to serve our customers from 2 shipping points. One in New Jersey and the other in the Los Angeles, California area. We are also able to export outside of the United States.
