Bangkok, Thailand-headquartered frozen seafood supplier Sian Canadian has launched a meat division as part of the group’s growth strategy.
The new entity, Siam Canadian – Meat Division, is headed by General Manager Justyna Popielska, who is based in her home town of Szczecin, Poland.
According to Siam Canadian, Popielska has a wealth of experience trading in a wide range of meat products – sourcing from South America, North America, Europe, and Asia to supply established buyers in Asia and beyond.
This, combined with Siam Canadian’s existing network of suppliers and customers, gives the meat division a strong base to build on, it said.
“The objective of the new division is to quickly build a significant position in the meat industry much in the same way that Siam Canadian has already realized in the frozen seafood sector. I am confident Justyna will achieve this and we will aggressively continue to grow the meat division as we go forward,” Siam Canadian General Manager Jim Gulkin said.
Richard Williams, Siam Canadian’s director of group business development, said that the company’s current annual sales exceed USD 325 million (EUR 279.5 million) and that he is confident the new meat division and a European presence “will help fuel Siam Canadian’s further growth and diversification into new markets.”
Although primarily focused on frozen seafood, 30-year-old Siam Canadian also exports frozen fruit, vegetables, canned products, meats, and poultry.
