HISTORY

1974

ENTREPRENEUR

Munkebo Seafood A/S was established by Hawesta and F. Tengberg.

Hawesta was a German can producer and F. Tengberg already had a fish cannery. Therefore, the partnership between the 2 men seemed to be an ideal mixture.

Hawesta was looking for a place in Denmark where there was rich access to female labor. Hence Munkebo proved to be the logical place to build the factory because of its neighbour, Odense Steel Shipyard, which employed 5000 men.

Munkebo Fine Foods Limited was the name of the company and in the beginning the company mainly supplied Hawesta. The production included herring and cod-liver, but in the early eighties mackerel was also included into the range.
