Purchasing
A sustainable and high quality supply is the cornerstone of Quirch private label Seafood (Panamei) products. Since 1967, Quirch Foods Co. has been establishing relationships with suppliers dedicated to premium quality.
We also acknowledge the growing need for a diversified procurement program, which screens products for sustainability. This is the reason why Quirch Foods has established a purchasing policy geared towards sourcing seafood from responsible fisheries and aquaculture operations.
