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?
Safcol has a long heritage of over 80 years in seafood in the Australian market and also other global markets. We trace our tuna catch from fishing boat to shelf and we are the brand that changed the Australian tuna market to a responsibly fished market, with larger brands following our lead 5 years later, after we had changed our fishing methods in 2011. Being the Only Australian tuna brand that actually owns a cannery in Australia and internationally gives us the advantage of ensuring Australian Standards of Food Safety are adhered to at all times.
