About Us
Safcol Tuna: The Australian Seafood Experts
Safcol was founded in 1945 by a group of South Australian fishermen to sell their catch; the first of its kind in Australia. This connection with the craft and the catch has been constant throughout our history. Today, Safcol continues to manage the thriving South Australian Fish Market and is a diversified consumer products group, marketing its products across the Australian Retail Market in supermarkets and other speciality stores.
Why Safcol?
Safcol is one of the world’s major suppliers of fresh, packaged and frozen seafood. We are respected for our philosophy of sustainability and our guarantee of quality. We have over 80 years experience, from traditional beginnings to the operation of fleets and plants around the world. We can supply virtually every type of seafood, fresh or frozen.
Safcol services a wider market than most other suppliers of quality seafood: Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Hong Kong, China, Thailand, Malaysia, Greece, the Middle East, Slovenia, Chile, Canada and the USA. Safcol has built a loyal following of discerning customers. We continually develop new products and meet government standards in all markets.
Our catch is delivered direct to our canning and processing plants. We do not operate “mother ships” that operate as floating freezers. We respect marine conservation. We comply with the highest EU and USA standards and have the knowledge to comply with all other standards of the countries with which we deal.
Why Safcol?
For more than 80 years, Safcol has been Australia’s trusted seafood expert, delivering quality seafood to Australian consumers and markets around the world.
We trace our tuna from the fishing vessel through to the supermarket shelf, giving us complete oversight of every stage of the journey. In 2011, Safcol helped lead the transformation of the Australian tuna category towards responsibly sourced fishing, setting a benchmark that many larger brands would later follow.
Unlike other Australian tuna brands, Safcol owns its own tuna cannery.
