Haikui Seafood AG has completed the upgrade of its processing facilities for canned and frozen seafood.
The company, a seafood processing company with sales in international markets, has enhanced its processing capacities of canned and frozen seafood by around 2,100 and 3,600 tonnes per year respectively. These means that the company can now process approximately 34,200 tonnes of seafood annually, compared to 28,543 tonnes as of 31 December 2011.
As well as upgrading its canned seafood processing facility, Haikui has also upgraded its frozen seafood facility. Due to the extension of this business line, the company will be able to increase its output of frozen seafood products by around 3,600 tonnes per annum to approximately 27,100 tonnes per annum.
Haikui reports that the automation of the can sealing stage in the canning line has enabled the company to expand its production of canned seafood products such as tuna, mackerel and sardines by around 2,100 tonnes per year to approximately 7,100 tonnes per year.
“We intend to at least double our existing processing capacity within the next three years. With the upgrade of our canned and frozen seafood processing facilities, we have realised one of our strategic key targets to further improve efficiency and increase overall output”, says Chen Zhenkui, CEO of Haikui Seafood AG.
