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 two men seemed to be an ideal match.
Hawesta was looking for a place in Denmark with access to female labor, as women with their smaller hands worked faster on the production line than men.
Hence Munkebo proved to be the logical place to build the factory because of its neighbour, Odense Steel Shipyard, which employed 5,000 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.

The company continues to develop and expand our product range and market nationally as well as internationally.
