Notes to Editors:
Aquatic Foods Group is a leading marine foods and seafood
processor and supplier based in China. The Group initially built
its business through focusing on the export market (principally
Japan under the "Kanwa Foods" brand), and subsequently established
the "Zhenhaitang" brand in 2007 in mainland China to take advantage
of the growing market driven by growing disposable income within
the Chinese middle-classes and a more health conscious consumer
base.
The Group benefits from excellent food safety procedures
developed over many years which have helped the Group to build a
strong track record of supplying its products into overseas
markets. This track record has enhanced the perception of the
quality and reliability of the Group's products in China and has
allowed the Group to expand significantly into local markets as
demand for seafood products has increased. In a market that has
seen regular public health scares relating to food safety, the
Group considers that its adherence to these standards to be a key
strength. The Group has obtained the following key standards:
- ISO 9001 Quality Management System certification
- HACCP Food Safety System certification
- BRC certification; and
- Marine Stewardship Council certification
Aquatic Foods works with a network of distributors to
effectively market its products in China. The Group has continued
to grow its distributor relationships and now distributes its
products in 16 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions in
China through 50 regional distributors. These distributors in turn
sell the Group's products to sub-distributors and retailers,
including supermarket chains and hypermarkets.
