Our story began in 1877, when Hossein Rahmani founded a dried fruits and nuts business in Northern Persia, a region celebrated for its agricultural abundance. More than a century later, his grandson, Abouzar, grew up on the family’s farms and in its factories, which had by the mid-1990s become the largest agro-food enterprise in the region. Immersed in this world from an early age, he developed a deep expertise in ingredient origins, quality, and processing methods.

In 2004, while studying in Brussels, Belgium, Abouzar recognized a gap in the market: there were no premium-quality nut and dried fruit snacks available in convenient formats or everyday locations. Out of this vision, Mani — derived from the family name Rahmani — was born, carrying forward a heritage of craftsmanship into a modern expression of pure, indulgent snacking.
