Sea Products Mussels Ltd

Sea Products Mussels Limited was formed in 2015 specifically to process and market New Zealand Greenshell™ Mussels for export.

A purpose built factory was established adjacent to Sea Products Auckland plant. The factory sorts, de-beards, blanches, opens, snap freezes and packages mussels sourced from Sea Products farms in the Coromandel area.

The mussels are packaged frozen in the halfshell, making them a very easy product for the consumer to store and prepare.
