The company processes and retails tuna products for sliced raw fish including loins, steaks, and blocks; general fishery items such as belt fishes, pollacks, and blue crabs; seasoned dried laver products comprising kimbaps, seasoned lavers, traditionally cooked lavers, and stone laver sets; and pre-processed fishery products like mackerel and squid. It operates longliners and purse seines to catch bluefin tuna, big-eye tuna, yellowfin tuna, albacore tuna, marlin, skipjack tuna, and other species; maintains freezer warehouses with ultra-low temperature chambers, inspection centers, forklifts, and elevators; and sells through sales agencies, brand shops, department stores, and large discount marts while exporting to Japan, the United States, Europe, and China. Founded in 1980 and headquartered at Sajo Building in Seoul, South Korea, SAJO SEAFOOD Co.,Ltd operates as a subsidiary of Sajo Industries Co., Ltd in the packaged foods industry within the consumer staples sector.
