This slogan is perfectly legitimate. Fishmeal is a valuable and high-cost natural product whose quality varies greatly depending on the kind and freshness of the raw material used and how it is processed. For the determination of quality and price the protein content is only one of many criteria.

Next to Scandinavia, Peru and Chile have developed into the most important producing and exporting countries of high-quality fishmeal. For many years, Köster has maintained close cooperation with representatives and partners in all important fishmeal regions.

A pre-selection of the qualities that will finally be shipped is already made in the factories. Laboratories with a high international standard specialized in the examination of fishmeal, supply all necessary details. Based on this data, the qualities are separated and distributed to the individual holds of the sea-going vessels, thus ensuring the identity of the goods and the prescribed traceability.

Köster Marine Proteins is certified to GMP+ (B.02), GTP-COCERAL (Good Trading Pracitce), Q+S, as well as GAFTA Standard of Best Practice and is giving preference to buying from those producers who also work to specific quality standards.

On account of these pre-requisites and with more than 80 years of experience in the fishmeal trade Köster can offer its customers the highest possible reliability in the supply of high-quality fishmeals.
