Asiservy S.A.

What Asiservy S.A. does

Asiservy S.A. is a privately held, family-owned Ecuadorian tuna processing and exporting company headquartered in Manta, Manabí province, founded in the mid-1990s and led by the Núñez family (President Ec. Gustavo Núñez; Sub Gerente Juan Francisco Núñez Herrera). The company produces canned tuna (loins and chunks in oil or water), frozen tuna (whole skipjack, yellowfin, and bigeye plus pre-cooked loins), and value-added ready-to-eat pouch products such as Encebollado, Atún con Arroz, and Ensalada de Atún. It serves wholesale buyers and food service operators across more than 31 countries in Latin America and Europe, with an additional direct-to-consumer online storefront. Processing capacity stands at approximately 26,000 tonnes of fish per year across roughly 3,200 annual orders, supported by an owned fleet of two tuna vessels (B/P AMADA ISABEL acquired 2017; B/P EMILIO acquired 2020) that provide vertical integration into raw material capture.

The company's core technology differentiator is "Trazabilidad Blockchain," a blockchain-based traceability system that tracks tuna from ocean to consumer — the first deployment of its kind in the Ecuadorian tuna industry and recognized with a Premios Líderes IT 2024 award. Asiservy holds a dense certification stack spanning food safety (HACCP, BRC, IFS, BASC), market access (FDA, DIPOA, Senasa, Invima), religious (OU Kosher), social compliance (BSCI), sustainability (MSC, adhered 2021), and Carbon Neutral status (first in Ecuador's tuna sector, 2023). The company carries an AAA- credit rating from SUMMARATINGS and has raised capital through Ecuadorian corporate bond (obligaciones) issuances, including a fourth tranche of up to USD $10M in August 2023 and a fifth tranche of USD $6M in 2025.

Revenue is generated primarily through B2B export sales of tuna products, supplemented by a small DTC e-commerce storefront and an ancillary foreign-trade consulting practice that monetizes the company's multi-jurisdiction regulatory expertise. The customer base is described as over 100 wholesale buyers across 31+ countries with no individually named anchor customers. Distribution is supported by an enterprise field sales motion, a corporate website with traceability portal, and presence across LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube, Twitter/X, and TikTok. Revenue is not publicly disclosed.
