Katta Seafood

Katta Seafood is a Caphirian multinational fishing and seafood company. It manages a network of fishing ships, processing plants, and a vertically integrated distributorship of its products. It sells frozen, canned, smoked, and ready-to-eat seafood products for the wholesale, retail, and food service markets under various brand names.

Katta Seafood was founded in 1886 by Georgis Kattapoulos as Katta Fishing Corp., a modest tuna fishing company that first became known for its innovations related to refrigeration of the seafood product with crushed ice. Katta Fishing Corp. then pivoted to focus on the import and resale of tuna and salmon primarily to the Imperium's interior, quickly expanding into harvesting and globally distributing fish. In the early 20th century, the company diversified by purchasing deep-sea fish, largely pollock and shark, for processing and export.

In 1920, Kattapoulos's focus shifted to pursuing his pharmaceutical company Pantheon Industries and renamed Katta Fishing Corp. into Katta Seafood. Throughout the mid and late-20th century, Katta Seafood expanded its business operations to include cod, hake, shrimp, sardines, mackerel, pet food, frozen fillets, breaded fillets, fish sticks, nuggets, and fish sausage. Kattapoulos stepped down as chairman of Katta Seafood in 1926 and handed the company over to his son Nikolan, who ran the company for four decades. In 1967, Katta Seafood went public and is still majority-controlled by the Kattapoulos Estate.

Today, Katta Seafood is responsible for supplying approximately a third of all the fish eaten in the Imperium annually and is one of the world's largest producers of fish fillets, salmon, tuna, and canned fish. The company produces 23,400 tonnes of salmon annually and is the largest integrated marine industry supply-chain service provider in Caphiria. The company owns several brands and subsidiaries that produce canned tuna, salmon, other seafood, chicken, and more across its portfolio.
