Lenger Seafoods Group

Lenger Seafoods is a dynamic worldwide enterprise whose activities cover the fishing, cultivation, purchasing, processing, storage and distribution of a wide and attractive assortment of shellfish and crustaceans. The Lenger family from Harlingen have been active in the shellfish industry for over 93 years when they fished for herring and anchovy. Later they started to farm mussels and they began to fish on cockles on the Waddensea. Today Lenger Seafoods stands for fishing, cultivation, processing and marketing of traditional and sustainable fished shellfish - and crustaceans like cockles, mussels, razor clams, scallops, whelks, oysters, langoustines and much more. Export of frozen, chilled, fresh and preserved products goes worldwide into retail, foodservice - and industrial markets. For its headquarters the Group chose Yerseke, the shellfish centre of northern Europe with fast distribution to the main markets in Europe. In Harlingen Lenger has developed a strong shellfish production with 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 Easterscheldt and the Waddensea. Lenger Seafoods recognises the need for clarity, both internal as well as external. The transparent company structure guarantees clarity in communication with clients at all levels. You are always connected by a direct line to their personnel, many of whom have a fisheries background and all have extensive knowledge of the products that we bring on the market.
