What Seafoodia does

Seafoodia (legal entity SAS SEAFOODIA, RCS Marseille 413 959 610) is a privately held French B2B distributor founded in 1996 and headquartered at 8 Boulevard Edouard Herriot, Marseille. The company sources, trades, and distributes seafood and land-based food products — frozen and fresh seafood, marine ingredients (Omega-3 oils and meals, DHA-rich microalgae), frozen meat and poultry, dry products, and fresh fruits and vegetables — through a network of more than 3,000 partner companies across 70 countries. Its two sub-brands, Seafoodia Natural Ingredients (marine ingredients, ~10% global Omega-3 share, serving pharma, food, pet food, and feed) and Foodia (fresh produce), extend the platform beyond core seafood into higher-value ingredient and fresh categories. Annual sales volume is ~120 KT and 2024 turnover is reported at 400 M€ against a headcount of 134 Seafoodlovers from 11 nationalities.

Revenue is generated via B2B transactional distribution: Seafoodia operates a sales-led model targeting wholesale companies, distributors, and food-industry clients through direct sales relationships, with logistics (sourcing, transport, warehousing, financing, final delivery) offered as a vertically integrated service rather than a standalone product. The company does not publish pricing, and its go-to-market is anchored on long-tenured trading relationships, multi-origin sourcing from FAO fishing zones and key produce regions (Western Europe, North Africa, Latin America, Southern Africa, Middle East, Asia Pacific including China), and certifications displayed on its corporate site. Distribution is global but the legal entity remains a single SAS controlled by legal representative David SUSSMANN, with no disclosed external private equity, venture capital, or parent-company ownership and no funding rounds on record.
