Innovation
A mainstay at the company. We are pioneers in industrial fishing in Spain: we opened the first seafood boiler in Spain and we are the country’s leading importer of surimi. At present, the new BIO line is a health food forerunner in the seafood industry.
Quality
We use the most advanced technologies at all stages of the value chain to guarantee the quality of our products. We invest in cutting-edge, eco-friendly processing and preservation plants. All of our factories and cold stores are ISO and IFS certified.
Sustainability
We are committed to wild seafood and shellfish because it guarantees the finest flavour and texture, while respecting the environment through sustainable fishing practices. We fish wild species from sustainable fishing grounds using selective gear to minimise the impact on marine life and biodiversity. Quality fishing, responsible fishing.
