Catalogo-Camanchaca-Bruselas-v3-2022

Camanchaca began operating in Chile in 1965, catching and
processing shrimp and langostino lobsters. In 1980, a change
in leadership resulted in a new strategy to diversify into other
sea products, including aquaculture. This decision led to
consistent and continual growth. Currently, Camanchaca is
engaged in industrial fishing in northern and southern Chile
as well as farming of Atlantic salmon, mussels and abalone.
It operates along 6,640 kilometers of coastline starting from
the northern Chilean city of Iquique and stretching southward.
This growth has earned the company a privileged position in
international markets, exporting to more than 50 countries.
In the fishing business, Camanchaca has targeted its
production increasingly more towards human consumption,
including frozen and canned jack mackerel, langostino
lobster and fish oils rich in omega-3 fatty acids, in addition to
producing fishmeal.
In the salmon farming business, Camanchaca became the
world’s first salmon producer to earn four stars for the Global
Aquaculture Alliance’s (GAA) Best Aquaculture Practices
(BAP) certification. This standard, which is highly valued by
consumers, retailers and food service operators throughout
the world, guarantees that salmon production is performed in
a socially and environmentally responsible manner and is safe
for human consumption.
In order to establish a close presence in the strategic markets
where its products are distributed and sold, the company
has opened offices or has commercial representation in
the United States, Japan, Europe, and more recently in the
Caribbean/Central America and China/Southeast Asia. In the
latter market, it has joined forces with other Chilean producers
to form a partnership called “New World Currents”. The
Company’s corporate offices are located in Santiago, Chile.
Everyone at Camanchaca is committed to its mission to “feed
the world from the ocean”, supplying high quality fish and
shell fish.
