CASEAMEX

What CASEAMEX does

CASEAMEX (legal name: Can Tho Import Export Seafood Joint Stock Company) is a Vietnam-based seafood processor and exporter founded in 1988 in Can Tho City, originally as the Can Tho Processing and Export Factory under CATACO. The company transitioned to a privately held joint-stock company on July 1, 2006, and currently operates a fully integrated closed-loop pangasius production system spanning hatchery, feed mill, farming, processing, and exporting. Its production footprint includes a hatchery producing 500 million fingerlings annually, approximately 100 hectares (1.07 million m²) of company-controlled farming ponds across 9 areas in Vinh Long, Dong Thap, and Soc Trang provinces, and an EU-approved (Code DL 369) and FDA-approved (No. 10763958522) processing facility in the Tra Noc II Industrial Zone with 150 tons/day raw capacity, 5,000 tons of cold storage, and 10 tons/hour freezing capacity.

The company's product portfolio covers standard pangasius cuts (well-trimmed, semi-trimmed, untrimmed fillets, loins, steaks, HGT, whole gutted, butterfly, slices, portions, collar bone, rolls, skewers), value-added offerings (breaded fillets, breaded nuggets, pre-fried products, tempura, belly flap nuggets), pangasius by-products (skin, stomach, fin), and adjacent freshwater seafood (frozen frog legs, freshwater shrimp, freshwater eel, Broadhead Clarias fish). CASEAMEX serves international B2B buyers — distributors, food service companies, and retail chains — across more than 50 countries spanning North America, Europe, Latin America, the Middle East, Asia, and Oceania.

Revenue is generated through B2B export sales of frozen pangasius products under a quote-based pricing model, with go-to-market executed via direct enterprise field sales to international distributors and food service operators. The company holds an extensive certification stack — including ASC, BRC, IFS, BAP 4-Star, SA8000, HALAL, HACCP, and SQF — supporting access to regulated export markets. Over 80% of raw materials are self-sourced from company-owned ponds, reinforcing supply chain control. The company employs approximately 15 staff per the firmographic record, though a separate source references approximately 1,000 workers in the processing facility — a discrepancy that may reflect a distinction between corporate/management headcount and operational workforce, or a data inconsistency.
