Our story

Built on trust, grown across generations.

Newbell Trade was founded by Carlos Abboud, an Argentine-born entrepreneur. He started his activity in the 1980s with a sales office in France, representing Argentine and Brazilian citrus juice producers.

In 1997 he founded Newbell, based in Uruguay. Since then, Newbell has successfully embraced its mission of being a reliable source of citrus products from the main origins to the world.

From the beginning of this journey, Newbell was built on pillars of unequivocal values: reliability and confidence, efficiency and flexibility, authenticity and sustainability.
