The Balobi group of companies is an integrated Fishing Group located on the quayside in Port St Francis, South Africa. We process, package and export Squid, Hake, and Pilchards. Although all Line Fish is presently sold locally to South African Customers, we are in the process of getting accreditation to export to the European Union and other countries.
The Group is unique in its ownership of a fish packing and processing facility in close proximity to fishing waters where the finest quality fish on offer in the market place is caught.
The Balobi Group founder, Anton Viljoen, started commercial fishing on a small scale with his own ski and deck boats in the early 1980s. Since that early conception, the Balobi Group has developed into a well established group of companies. In September 2000 the company moved into the new Port Hole Building on the quayside at Port St Francis
