Fiskano, your reliable partner in Seafood
Founded more than 35 years ago, Fiskano has grown into an ambitious and leading trading company specialised in top quality frozen seafood.
Located in Urk, the heart of the European flatfish fisheries, a lean and mean team of nineteen dedicated people is ready to provide you with the best our worldwide oceans have to offer. In-depth market and product knowledge, combined with a healthy financial position, gives Fiskano a strong bargaining position to get the best for our clients.
We are proud that we are still a family-owned business. Therefore, we think on a generational level: instead of a focus on closing a deal on the day, we prefer to invest in future long-term relations.
A particular focus of Fiskano has always been to find new markets and products, and we have been trading many products long before they became mainstream. Over the years Fiskano has built up a wide network, both national and international, with particularly strong contacts in Holland, South Africa and Asia. Through its holding company, Fish Con Urk, it has access to an international group of trading companies from China to France, several processing facilities and primary fisheries. We aim for a broad range of products, which we can supply from single boxes on combined pallets to full container loads.
Markets
Fiskano’s specialty is building knowledge and expertise in the different markets we are actively buying from and selling to. We build up strong relationships and go the extra mile for our customers and suppliers. All our products can be ordered up to our customers’ specifications/requests. For retailers we work with private label or we pack the product in our own Compass brand. For markets such as Italy and Scandinavia we work with local agents who 100% represent Fiskano and have known our company for over 30 years.
Source
One of our key company policies is to go directly to the source. This means we avoid unnecessary steps in the supply chain, ensuring maximum freshness and full transparency. By staying close to the origin, we can monitor market dynamics such as pricing and availability in real-time, allowing us to offer the most competitive prices to our clients.
Quality
All our products (wild catch as well as aquaculture) are submitted to an extensive quality test at the source, during processing as well as when the goods enter the Coldstore. We believe that with our grade A products we will keep our customers satisfied.
