Sunflower kernels, chips and seeds from the fields of northern Moldova, processed in a fully automated plant in Soroca and shipped to food and feed manufacturers in more than 20 countries. Trusted by partners across Europe, tested against the strictest food-safety standards, tasted in some of the continent's leading snack and bakery products.
Buyers who try Crown tend to stay. Ask them why and you hear the same four things: the seed we start from, the way we treat it, the way we pack it, and the fact that the next lot tastes and looks like the last one. We built the company around exactly those four.
Seed from the northern districts around Soroca, the country's best sunflower land, grown under the same maximum residue limits that apply in the European Union and tested against them before acceptance. Local, sustainable and grown to EU rules.
Cleaning, dehulling, calibration, optical sorting and X-ray inspection run as one automated line, among the most advanced in the region. Human hands do not touch the product between intake and the sealed bag, and the line is built for scale as much as for quality.
Paper or PP sacks from 5 kg, big bags or bulk, in the unit weight your line handles. Sacks can carry your own colour label or sticker, so the goods arrive ready for your warehouse or your shelf, and every pallet is loaded the way your intake receives it.
Crown sits inside Moldova's largest grain acquisition network. From that volume we take only the seed that meets our specification and that our customers have come to expect, so the kernels a bakery receives in March match the ones it received in October, whatever the season or the market.
Step inside and you see one line, not a chain of workshops: OLIS pre-cleaning, ELICA dehulling and calibration, a BÜHLER SORTEX optical sorter, TOMRA X-ray inspection and an automated packer, with our laboratory a few steps away. Every lot spends its day here, untouched by hand.

Our kernels go into bread, granola and protein bars in the European Union, into the confectionery and snack lines of leading European brands, into bird-feed blends and into oil pressing, across more than 20 countries on three continents.
Every year you will find us at the major food fairs, where most of our long-term partnerships began over a handful of kernels. Tell us which one you are visiting and we will book a meeting slot for you.
Today is International Earth Day, and it’s the perfect reminder of a simple truth: we don’t just live on this planet, we are a part of it. 🌿🌎 We often forget that Earth is the only home we will ever have. It breathes with us, feeds us, and protects us every single day. It’s not just about the soil and the oceans; it’s…
