High Liner Foods revamps its supply chain network and expands its frozen seafood facility to stay ahead of consumer demands and sustainability mandates.
For many seafood processors, pumping out a host of seafood fare can be a bit rudimentary. Frozen seafood comes in; frozen seafood ships out. But, for companies like High Liner Foods, all it takes is a bit of seasonings, sauces and different shapes to transform an ordinary product into something extraordinary.
That’s why High Liner Foods received Refrigerated & Frozen Foods’ 2013 Frozen Foods Processor of the Year award. The Nova Scotia, Canada-based seafood processor is said to be the single largest importer in North American seafood, importing a few hundred million pounds of product. It ranked No. 18 in Refrigerated & Frozen Foods’ Top 150 Frozen Food Processors (March 2013 issue). And, the Portsmouth, N.H., and Newport News, Va., plants are undergoing some serious renovations.
