Every month we visit a successful company with a group of enthusiastic entrepreneurs. Various companies from different sectors have been featured, and last Thursday it was the turn of what is now an international multinational: Mar Seafood. A major Dutch player that has conquered the international market.
The company operates from its head office in Urk, but has several offices, including in Morocco and France. Its history goes back to Urk, where in the 1980s the first Moroccan guest worker, after years of working in a fish factory, decided to start his own business. Ambitious and enterprising as he was, he took the route towards a successful company step by step, and it eventually grew so large that he appointed his son Nabil El Ghamarti as CEO of the company.
We were taken through this story with great dedication, and also through how the company operates today. After an extensive presentation by Nabil and his colleague Nino Tuzlakovic, we were allowed to take a look at the production area. We were guided through the entire process of making their products and, as the icing on the cake, we were able to give our immune systems an enormous boost in the cold store, where it was -40 degrees.
All in all, a successful day. If you would like to know more about our working visits, feel free to send us a message.
