Exhibiting at Seafood Expo North America 2025

Worldwide Fishing Company (WOFCO), based in Moaña, Spain, has emerged as a global leader in the fishing and seafood industry. Founded with a mission to integrate the full value chain of the seafood business—from sourcing and processing to logistics and global distribution—WOFCO operates across five continents with a focus on quality, sustainability, and traceability.

Core Business

WOFCO’s core business lies in the acquisition, processing, and distribution of high-quality frozen seafood. The company maintains strategic control over every aspect of the supply chain, from fishing operations to end-market delivery, enabling a vertically integrated model that ensures consistent product quality, food safety, and efficient logistics.

WOFCO owns and partners with fishing fleets operating in strategic zones such as the South Atlantic, Indian Ocean, and North Atlantic. With offices and production facilities in Spain, ArgentiNAmibia, China, and Vietnam, WOFCO services clients globally, including leading supermarket chains, distributors, and foodservice companies.

Product and Service Offerings

WOFCO offers a diverse range of seafood products, including:

• Cephalopods: Patagonian Squid, Squid, Giant Squid
• Fish: Tuna, Atlantic Cod, Salmon, Swordfish, Blue Shark, Greenland Halibut, Red Fish
• Seafood: Argentinian Red Shrimp

All products are frozen at sea or processed in WOFCO’s certified facilities under strict HACCP and EU food safety regulations. Their seafood meets the culinary and regulatory requirements of high-demand markets including the European Union, the United States, and Asia.

Specialization and USP

WOFCO’s unique selling proposition is its vertically integrated model, allowing the company to ensure full traceability, quality control, and efficiency.

• Meet strict international compliance standards

Their specialization in cephalopods and wild-caught species from the South Atlantic and Indo-Pacific zones provides niche market advantages and product diversity that few competitors can match.
