With our headquarters in Seville, Spain, Alfocan is Europe’s leading processor and wholesaler of wild-caught freshwater crayfish, mainly of the species Procambarus clarkii, also known as crawfish in the USA .
Our crayfish are sustainably fished using traditional crafts in the lakes and rice paddies of Southern Spain, the world's largest fishing production area after China, Egypt and the United States.
As specialists, we provide crayfish of the best quality directly processed in our own processing plants in Spain and in Egypt, combined with the personalized and careful attention of our expert team.
Since 1987, our historical production center is located in Isla Mayor near Seville, at the heart of the main fishing areas. It is equipped with modern infrastructure and food processing technology, something in which the company has been investing ever since its establishment. Thirty years later, in 2017, we established our second production plant in Egypt in collaboration with local partners and supervised by our veteran European experts. This expansion strategy allowed us to increase our offer and guarantee crayfish supply throughout the year, ready to be shipped anywhere in the world.
Alfocan also holds the ISO 14001, BRC and IFS certificates in recognition of its efforts to maintain the highest standards of quality, sustainability and food safety, and is a SEDEX member that guarantees compliance with ethical trade principles.
We serve both retail, industry and foodservice, either through trusted distributors or partnering directly with major supermarkets.
Ever since its beginnings, Alfocan has maintained a global vision that allows us to be a reference in the global crayfish industry. Currently, with our two productions plants, we are one of the world’s leading companies in their field. All our delicious crayfish recipes are appreciated around the world, be it Scandinavian crayfish in dill brine, French écrevisses à la nage Louisiana Cajun seasoned crawfish, or our original Asian spices.
Our main markets are the United States and Europe, where we are present in France, Benelux, Scandinavia, Germany, the UK, Poland, and the Baltic States, among many others.
Following this international mindset, our previous experiences with the Asian markets have shown a growing interest for crayfish, especially in high end Chinese and fusion cuisine, which drives us to develop our presence to service local importers.
