Seafood Exporter Thailand — Frequently Asked Questions
What is ambient seafood OEM and does Hanuman Seafood offer it?
Ambient seafood OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) refers to contract manufacturing of shelf-stable seafood — retort pouches, canned tuna, canned squid, sardines, and ready-to-eat seafood meals — under the buyer's private-label brand, with no cold-chain requirement.
