The company's history

1970

Everything started in... a small garage with a mechanical plant! The owners have converted it into their first production hall for the processing and export of shrimp. The first key clients to whom a newly founded company delivered its products were from the Netherlands and Belgium, and the first connoisseurs of its unique taste came from the Belgian Royal Family.

1989

Suempol is being formed, the oldest smoked salmon processor in Poland and one of the largest salmon processors in the modern world.

COMPANY PILLARS

Premium quality of products

Production at our food processing plant is continuously controlled in accordance with the requirements of food safety management system HACCP of hazard analysis and critical control point quality checking. This guarantees that our products are always fresh and safe for your health. We also hold IFS ( International Food Standard ), BIO and MSC certificates which attest to a premium quality of our products . Our own office in Norway allows us to select the highest quality raw product at earliest stages of the process of its extraction and a dedicated IT system allows us to monitor the entire production process and this is why we can be sure that the product which arrives at your table is always of the highest quality.

Always fresh and tasty product

We use modern technologies to make sure that our fish always remains as fresh as it was on the day of fishing. We carefully control the quality of our fish at every stage of production. Aging fish meat for many hours, drying and smoking it in a beech wood smoke guarantees that the fish retains its aroma and taste and that its meat is particularly tender.

An exquisite taste

Due to a technological process used by Suempol our products are characterized by a unique taste. Natural additives enable us to offer a wide range of products. This makes it possible for us to bring up the best qualities out of the salmon- its exquisite taste, aroma and amazing, appealing look.

Only healthy ingredients

We use only natural and fresh ingredients without the addition of any artificial preservatives and food colorants, and this is why not only are our products tasty but also healthy. Salt is the only preservative used in our products. Our products have been recognized as healthy and worth recommending in a healthy diet by Professor Zbigniew Religa Foundation of Cardiac Surgery Development, Fundacja Teraz Polska [Now Poland Foundation] and have been awarded various highest quality certificates in a great number of different countries.
