We are delighted and proud to announce that Crustamar has just been certified IFS Broker !
Why did we choose to commit to this rigorous and demanding certification ?
The IFS Broker standard is essential for importers: indeed, Crustamar creates the link between producers and its clients.
The IFS Broker certification guarantees a system for controlling the quality and safety of products throughout the supply chain, while taking into account the legal requirements in force.
Crustamar has always been committed to promoting a culture of product safety.
This is reflected in our daily operations through the implementation of a strict control plan with release analyses, origin audits, and secure supply chains, as well as complete traceability. Crustamar was also the first European importer to be ISO 9001 certified. We have also held BIO, MSC, and ASC certifications since 2019.
Therefore, as part of our continuous improvement, it seemed essential to us to keep progressing, and it was quite natural to commit to this new approach.
This work, initiated by management and the quality department, was carried out jointly, involving all Crustamar employees at every level.
Being certified allows Crustamar to reaffirm its commitment to its supplier partners as well as its client partners in terms of the safety and quality of its supply chain.
Second edition of this day organized by Nantes Métropole and dedicated to CSR.
It took place at the Cité des Congrès on Thursday, March 14, and Crustamar was there 🙂
A very interesting and inspiring day thanks to numerous workshops, conferences, and testimonials; particularly on issues of work relationships and corporate governance. A large, friendly, and warm table where everything was done to get to know your neighbor. And finally, a special mention to Salomé Saqué for her speech at the opening ceremony, which challenged some pr
econceptions about youth and whose speech resonated well with us !

The Seafood Expo Global is the must-attend event for all industry professionals. Since 2020, Crustamar has chosen not to exhibit, but wouldn’t miss this key event for anything! This year, Amélie and Philippe attended: 3 intense days, about fifty meetings, and no downtime. In fact, you might have seen them in the aisles of the expo or on the plane 🙂 …
According to Diversified Communications, the organizer, this 30th edition welcomed ‘a record number of exhibiting companies and participants.’ The numbers speak for themselves: 2,244 exhibitors from 87 countries worldwide, 67 national and regional pavilions, and over 35,000 buyers and suppliers in the industry. The economic impact for the city of Barcelona is estimated to be around 156 million euros.
Save the date for the next edition of the expo, which will again be held in Barcelona from May 6 to 8, 2025. See you next year !

A trip to Peru is always an enriching experience !
Philippe and Amélie went to northern Peru, specifically the Tumbes and Piura regions, in early February for an intense week full of meetings and rich in new experiences.
Not only did this trip allow them to reconnect with and audit the suppliers of shrimp “Penaeus vannamei” and giant squid “Dosidicus gigas” that we already work with, but also to initiate new contacts, identify new supply chains, and discover new products such as the scallops from Sechura Bay “Argopecten purpuratus” and the octopus “Octopus mimus”.
They also had the chance to witness the seeding of the ponds by our organic shrimp farmer and partner.
Here’s a little story about how it happens: once the customs formalities are completed, the larvae are brought to the ponds as quickly as possible. It takes about an hour for them to acclimate to the pond temperature, then they are released from their bags. They are then left to take possession of their pond and are fed so they can grow peacefully for three months before being harvested.
The CRUSTAMAR team wishes you an excellent new year 2024 !
May it bring you the best in your life, for you and your loved ones !
