Our Approach to sustainable shellfish

The Group’s head offices and factory are located in Yerseke, the factory in with the main focus on the production of
fresh shellfish is situated in the shellfish center of  Northern Europe with fast distribution to the main markets of
Lenger. In Yerseke, Lenger has developed a strong shellfish production with a main focus on canning, de-sanding and
storage capacity. Furthermore, Harlingen has the advantage of being situated on close distance to the source. These
two locations ensure that Lenger is active in what for centuries have been the two most important shellfish grounds in
the Netherlands, The Wadden Sea and the Easterscheldt.

De-sanding & Process

After the catch, the raw materials go directly to one of our de-sanding and processing stations. This step in the process largely determines the quality of our product. Here, we clean the shells and process them into an end product. To get a maximum result out of this, we have developed our own shellfish production lines. The total sum of this requires finesse in both the depuration, processing and packaging techniques, disciplines which we master.
