Our Heritage

Our
Journey

Abad, a family-owned company spanning five generations in seafood processing, hospitality, and real estate, and Pescanova, a global leader with 75 years of expertise in fishing, aquaculture, and seafood sales across 17 countries, share a longstanding partnership built on mutual trust and success.

Our collaboration began in 1978 with the export of squid, laying the foundation for a strong alliance. Over the years, this partnership evolved, culminating in a joint venture for farmed shrimp on India's east coast in 2007.

What sets Abad Overseas apart is the unique convergence of strengths that this partnership brings together — direct proximity to India's most productive shrimp farming regions, a robust traceability system covering 7,000 hectares of registered farms, and established processing infrastructure built over decades on the Andhra Pradesh coastline. Combined with the combined expertise of Nueva Pescanova Group and Abad Fisheries, and an uncompromising commitment to the best quality standards, Abad Overseas is uniquely positioned to deliver farmed shrimp that meets the most demanding global requirements.
