Manufacturers
We work with food manufacturers to produce retail-ready seafood for a variety of products. There are a number of advantages to manufacturing these products in the UK rather than at their source, with our industry-leading facilities in Liverpool being just one.
Seafood
Manufacturing
Our industry-leading facility in Sefton, Liverpool processes 350 tons of seafood every week, with the capacity for more. We also have additional facilities in Norfolk and the Netherlands. This allows us to produce material for our customers that fits their desired specifications in bulk and send it to manufacturing units as an ingredient to repack within retail products like ready meals, pizzas and sandwiches.
We can deliver customer-specified products to retail manufacturers within a short time scale. Contact us to find out more about our current lead times and products.
