- Unimer SA is a Morocco-based agro-industrial company primarily engaged in the processing, canning, distribution, and export of seafood and preserved agricultural food products. Founded in 1920 and headquartered in Casablanca, Morocco, the company operates as a key agro-food subsidiary of Sanam Holding and serves retail, food service, and private-label commercial clients across domestic and global markets.
The company operates primarily through two core business segments: Canned and Preserved Seafood, and Preserved Agro-Foods. Its comprehensive product portfolio includes canned sardines preserved in vegetable oils, extra virgin olive oil, spiced sauces, tomato sauces, and natural brine; canned mackerel fillets, whole mackerel, and seasoned mackerel preparations; semi-preserved salted anchovies, marinated flat anchovy fillets, rolled anchovies with capers, and anchovy paste; processed table olives, including green, black, whole, pitted, sliced, and stuffed olive varieties; pickled capers, gherkins, and assorted vegetable condiments; and fruit preserves and tomato concentrates. Unimer SA distributes its offerings under well-established proprietary and licensed brand names, including Titus, La Monégasque, Gladiator, Madrigal, Delmonaco, Al Bahia, Rekkas, and Conserves Modernes Chtaibi.
Unimer SA operates advanced industrial canning and processing complexes along Morocco's Atlantic coast, including major facilities in Agadir, Safi, and Dakhla, as well as agricultural preservation and packaging facilities in Marrakech and Casablanca. Through an integrated manufacturing and logistics infrastructure, the company exports the majority of its production volume to more than 80 countries across Europe, North America, Sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East, and Asia.
In recent developments, Unimer SA has undertaken strategic operational and financial initiatives aimed at strengthening operational resilience and driving export growth. The company has implemented modernization and efficiency programs across its primary pelagic processing plants in southern Morocco, upgrading automation, cold storage capacity, and waste-valorization systems to comply with stringent international sustainability and traceability standards. To mitigate coastal biomass volatility and global supply chain pressures, Unimer SA has optimized its raw material sourcing through long-term supply agreements with domestic fishing fleets and reinforced vertical integration across its cannery operations. Additionally, the company has restructured its balance sheet through comprehensive debt reprofiling and working capital optimization measures, providing capital flexibility to expand distribution partnerships across high-growth West African and North American food retail channels.
