Max Ventzke has been a member of the Keyaniyan Company’s executive board since September 1, 2026, and will lead the long-established company alongside Behnam Keyaniyan. With this expansion of its leadership team, the Hamburg-based specialist in international trade in high-quality nut kernels, dried fruits, and baking seeds is setting the course for the future and combining over 90 years of tradition with a cross-generational perspective.
Max Ventzke, 27, has been with the company since 2021. After completing his apprenticeship as a wholesale and foreign trade clerk and gaining initial experience in the import business, he quickly assumed increasing responsibility at Keyaniyan Company: Starting in order processing and scheduling, he moved into purchasing and sales. Across his various areas of responsibility, he gained deep insights into the company’s processes and developed a comprehensive understanding of the entire operational value chain.
A central focus of his future work will be on digitalization and the forward-looking development of the company: “I am excited to actively lead the company into the next generation and make its processes future-proof. At the same time, Hanseatic values such as reliability and personal relationships remain important to me.”
With this new co-leadership team, Keyaniyan Company combines many years of experience and a long-standing tradition with fresh ideas—thereby creating a strong foundation for the years ahead.
