Allen Hansen (Managing Director)
|
Allen Hansen is a former
US Marine Corps Captain, whose hobby of abalone diving while living
in California attracted him to Tasmania where he pioneered the commercial
abalone export trade of Australia. He is responsible for establishing
Tasmanian Seafoods Pty. Ltd. which, since its modest beginnings
in 1969, has grown to be the largest processor of abalone in Australia.
Currently, the processing of abalone is conducted in three factories,
located at Smithton and Margate in Tasmania, and Dandenong in Victoria.
A number of depots are also maintained in Tasmania. These depots
are well positioned to assist in providing the freshest abalone
for export as it is sourced from Australia's southern oceans surrounding
Tasmania, the south coast of Victoria and Western Australia. The
result is a well organised network, which maintains supplies of
abalone to be processed for export on a regular basis. |
Their attention to detail and
commitment to quality has earned Approved Quality Assurance (AQA) Certification
from the Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service (AQIS) for all
their products. This supply orientated organisation, combined with their
years of processing experience and marketing expertise supplies canned,
live, dried and frozen abalone to markets throughout Asia as well as
the UK, Europe and North America.
