Pesquera Hayduk

What Pesquera Hayduk does

Founded in 1990 and headquartered in Santiago de Surco, Lima, Pesquera Hayduk S.A. is a vertically integrated Peruvian fishing company that catches, processes, and commercializes hydrobiological resources. The company operates its own tuna and anchovy fishing fleet and four processing plants along the Peruvian coast — Coishco (Chimbote, Áncash), Végueta (Huacho, Lima), Puerto Malabrigo (Trujillo, La Libertad), and Tambo de Mora (Chincha, Ica, acquired October 2025) — producing fishmeal, fish oil, and frozen fish products such as Peruvian jack mackerel.

Hayduk's revenue model is built on three product lines: fishmeal and fish oil sold as B2B commodities into international aquaculture and livestock feed markets at international benchmark prices, and frozen fish sold to domestic Peruvian food service, retail, and household consumers. The company sells to enterprise buyers through direct field sales for export products and via website inquiries and plant visits for domestic frozen fish, with no publicly disclosed pricing. Customer segmentation is horizontal, addressing both indirect human consumption (animal nutrition) and direct human consumption (seafood) use cases.

The technology base is industrial rather than digital, centered on cold-chain fish processing, an Integrated Management System (SIG) covering quality, environment, occupational health and safety, and food safety, a traceability system across the value chain, and supply-chain security controls. The company holds a dense stack of international certifications (ISO 45001, ISO 14001, ISO 37001, BASC, GMP, MARIN TRUST V3, FOS, ISSF) and was awarded MINAM's Second Carbon Footprint Star in 2025. In March 2026, Hayduk launched a new brand identity under the manifesto 'Peruvian fishermen nourishing the world.'

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Pesquera Exalmar: Peruvian vertically integrated fishing company producing fishmeal, fish oil, and frozen seafood for export. Competes head-to-head with Hayduk for anchovy quota, plant capacity, and international IHC buyers in the same Peruvian operating environment.
• CFG Investment (Copeinca): Peruvian fishing holding company with anchovy-based fishmeal and fish oil production, formerly known as Copeinca. Operates the same Peruvian value chain as Hayduk and competes for the same commodity export channels.
• Tecnológica de Alimentos (TASA): Peru's largest fishmeal, fish oil, and frozen fish producer operating its own fleet and plants along the Peruvian coast. TASA is the closest direct competitor to Hayduk, serving the same international aquaculture feed buyers and DHC seafood channels with the same commodity-driven business model.
• Pesquera Diamante: Mid-sized Peruvian fishing and fishmeal/fish oil producer with similar fleet and plant infrastructure. Operates in the same Peruvian regulatory and quota framework as Hayduk and targets overlapping international commodity buyers.
• Austral Group: Peruvian fishing company producing fishmeal, fish oil, and frozen seafood for global markets. Directly comparable to Hayduk in product mix, customer base, and Peruvian fleet-and-plant operating model.

Broad incumbents

• Maruha Nichiro: Japan-based global seafood conglomerate with a broad portfolio spanning fishing, aquaculture, processed foods, and marine ingredient trading. Acts as a downstream buyer and global incumbent that competes with Hayduk in select frozen seafood and marine ingredient markets.

Regional players

• Corpesca: Chile's largest fishmeal and fish oil producer. Operates a similar upstream commodity model to Hayduk but is anchored to Chilean (not Peruvian) fishing grounds and quota regimes, making it a regional rather than direct competitor.
• Blumar: Chilean fishing company producing fishmeal, fish oil, and frozen seafood including jack mackerel (a species Hayduk also processes). Closely comparable business model but based in Chile rather than Peru.
• Camanchaca: Chilean vertically integrated fishing company producing fishmeal, fish oil, and frozen seafood (mussels, jack mackerel, salmon). Comparable to Hayduk in product mix and commodity exposure but operates in a different national jurisdiction.
• Orizon: Chilean fishing company focused on fishmeal and fish oil production, with a similar commodity export profile to Hayduk. Operates exclusively in Chilean waters, making it a regional rather than direct competitor.
