Sæby, Denmark

A/S Sæby Fiske-Industri

Leading Danish producer of canned mackerel products with annual capacity of 100-120 million cans, specializing in private label and sustainable fish processing.

Sæby Fiske-Industri is Denmark's premier mackerel canning manufacturer, founded in 1947 and headquartered in Sæby, Northern Denmark. The company produces between 100-120 million cans annually, of which approximately 85% is exported globally. The facility spans 60,000 square meters with dedicated raw material reception, freezing capacity, separate freeze rooms, and storage areas.

The company specializes in high-quality mackerel processing using innovative methods. Mackerel is individually quick-frozen (IQF) in separate cells immediately after heading and tailing, ensuring full traceability from catch to retail. The company uses a chemical-free skinning process employing hot water and steam instead of traditional chemical methods. Primary fishing seasons are October-November for Atlantic mackerel (Scomber scombrus) and August-July for jack mackerel (Trachurus murphyi).

Sæby operates with strong sustainability commitments including their own wastewater treatment plant, continuous energy optimization, and CO2 reduction initiatives. Approximately 95% of production is private label for retailers, while 5% comprises SÆBY and NORD branded products. The company employs over 160 staff and maintains a commitment to responsible fishing practices and traceability throughout the supply chain.
