As a company with a global reach, producing in seven factories across Europe and Asia, we are particularly proud of our factory in Poland. It's not only the largest factory in our Espersen family, but also provides employment for over 2000 people.
In Koszalin, where the heart of our company beats, we not only produce our fish specialties, but employ many specialists in departments supporting production and sales – technical department, quality department, health and safety, environmental protection, logistics, HR, accounting and administration. This makes us one of the more attractive employers in Central Pomerania.
In 1937, the Espersen family relocated to the small Danish island of Bornholm, situated in the middle of the Baltic Sea.
Jens Peter Arnold (“J.P.A.”) Espersen and his wife Dagny were determined to establish the island's first cod factory.
The J.P.A. and Dagny Espersen Foundation was established in 1971.
The Beginnings
In 1972, the company established cooperation with a well-known fast-food restaurant chain.
In 1982, production was opened in Hasle.
In 1995, the first international manufacturing plant was opened -
in Koszalin.
In 2021, there was a merger of two large plants in Koszalin - the Bartents Sea factory were joined by the North Sea factory. Espersen Poland was formed.
We do what we say, we say what we do!
our motto
Imagine a world where each of us can enjoy life, not worrying about what we are leaving behind for future generations. Sustainable development is precisely such a plan of action - we take care to meet our present needs, without compromising the ability of future generations to achieve their dreams and goals.
Over recent decades, fish have become a vital part of our diet - not only are they OMEGA-rich and healthy, but their fishing and production provide a livelihood for millions of people worldwide. Since the 1960s, the role of fish in our diet and awareness of their beneficial effect on our health has risen sharply. In short, the oceans are a colossal larder and source of sustenance for millions of people
At Espersen, there's no room for improvisation when it comes to sustainable development. That's why we strictly collaborate with the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) - a global organisation that establishes standards for sustainable fisheries. As a result, we can guarantee that our fish comes from sources that don't threaten marine ecosystems. We consistently review our actions to ensure that we are making a real difference. Our sustainable development programme is more than just talk – it's about concrete actions:
Sustainable Fisheries: Because every fish matters.
Supply Chain Integrity: Transparency from hook to plate.
Resource Efficiency: Because less is more.
Caring for Our Employees: Because each of us matters.
