- Salet Seafoods -
fishing the treaures today
The origin
of this highly sophisticated company goes back to 1953, when Mr Ramjibhai Salet vantured
out on the sea independently. This personal adventure translated itself into a company of
magnitude when his sons joined him. Because of their combined efforts, today, the Salet
Seafoods has grown manifold and carries out several activities like fishing, fish
processing and mass exports. Yet it has never lost sight of the principle of quality. All
along the company is acutely aware that dealing in food calls for a heightened sense of
responsibility which has resulted into foolproof hygiene and stringent quality control.
That explains the respect that Salet Seafoods commands.
To
catch hold of quality, we cast nets wider.
Just as a
fish takes to water, the Salet Seafoods have taken to seafood industry. In no time. The
company came into existence in March 1994 and within 2 years, that is, by March 1996, it
started the actual production. Only a charged company can give such spectacular
results. Today, the Salet Seafoods have 400 people working in their two factories :
one at Veraval, and the other at Varvala. Four vans ply between these factories and
the fish receiving centres at Dwarka, Okha and Porbandar where world's best prawns and
pomfrets are collected by 21 company trawlers equipped with wireless system of 25 km
reach, so that the factories get geared to start the processing the moment the catch
arrives. The factories are constructed on the lines of international standards so as
to facilitate smooth flow in one direction. Here qualified technicians test each and every
butch in a modern in house lab.
In fact, the
entire operation right from fish collection to packing and marketing is carried out in
higly sophisticated manner observing the utmost hygiene.
The result :
places as far off as Europe, USA, Canada, Japan, Malaysia, Bangkok, China, Australia,
Mauritius and other countries get quality fish in their freshest form, since the best fish
espacially the prawns and the silver pomfrets are caught here. The credit goes to the
happy climatic conditions of this region. Here sweet water of the Sindhu river mixes with
the salty oceanic waters of the Arabian sea. This combination proves extremely
conducive to prawns and silver pomfrets. The Salet Seafoods works round the clock.
High grade quality is maintained at every step in all the operations under the able
leadership of the four Salet brothers. It was their dynamism that took the company to a
turnover of Rs. 36 crores in a very short time. After all, they are chips of the old block
who reckoned and responded to the call of the wild sea and brought its living wealth to
the shores.
