The Leading Supplier of Seafood Additives for Preservation
The ability to extend the shelf life of food is often taken for granted, even though it plays a major role in ensuring food availability and security, as well as the existence of a number of related industries, including retail and hospitality. Food preservation relies heavily on methods that include cooling, freezing, and sealed packaging to remove air and avoid contamination. But these alone are not enough. When it comes to seafood, for example, additives play an essential role in preservation.
Tequisa is a global leader in seafood preservation technology through its innovative range of food additives and technological adjuvants. In fact, more than 1 000 companies worldwide currently benefit from our technology, and through them, this benefit is further extended to families, communities, and businesses all over the world.
Tequisa was established back in 1983 in Spain, which is the leading producer of frozen seafood in the European Union. In fact, Eurostat data shows that one in every six European marine products originate from Spain. This is, in part, made possible through the use of the advanced additives developed by Tequisa.
With an extensive coastline and oceans that are rich in sea life surrounding the country, South Africa boasts a booming seafood industry. In 2016 alone, the cumulative produce of capture fisheries in South Africa equalled 612 000 tonnes. Tequisa has also been an instrumental partner in the growth of this industry, supplying additives through its local branch since 1995.
Working closely with the seafood industry for so many years has enabled Tequisa to truly understand the needs and challenges of producers. It has always been the mission of Tequisa to manufacture high-quality, effective food additives for the commercial fishing industry. As such, Tequisa continues to consistently raise the benchmark in seafood preservation technology.
