These changes come following the appointment of CEO, Volker Kuntzsch, who joined Sanford in December 2013 from senior international seafood industry roles.

Mr Kuntzsch says that these are the first of important structural changes being made within Sanford as it becomes a customer-focused and innovative seafood company producing premium seafood products.

“Sanford is among the largest international fishing quota holders, and our diverse aquaculture and fishing operations can supply the wide range of seafood products that customers demand. We want our seafood to move beyond a traded commodity because what we take from the oceans is a precious resource”.

“Supported by a strong and experienced leadership team, my goal is to drive more value for Sanford’s seafood products through leveraging New Zealand’s image and international reputation, our unique marine environment and premium seafood resource,” said Mr Kuntzsch.
