The Atlantic Seafood Company (Gambia) ltd. was established in 2004 by Dutch entrepeneurs who were looking for new opportunities in The Gambia, West Africa. After visiting and being involved in the development of The Gambia for over 10 years now, the founders discovered a great potential in the fishing industry, which was very undeveloped at that time in The Gambia.
In 2004 the founders decided to invest in the fishing industry together with GIPFZA (The Gambia Investment Promotion and Free zones Agency), they made a plan to upgrade the standard of the fishing industry in The Gambia to the highest level. After having rented a factory in 2004 for 1 year and having tasted from the potential of the fishing industry in The Gambia, the plan was made to build up a brand new factory.
In the beginning of 2006 the operation started in the new factory, which has been marked by several quality controllers from the EU as the role model for Africa. We started to export the brand The Atlantic Seafood Company, to the Netherlands, Germany, France, UK, Spain and S-Africa.
