Kvalitetsfisk is a fish processing company in Stockholm that supplies fish and sushi products to restaurants across Sweden.
They also offer a wide selection of both fresh and non-perishable goods.
Moreover, Kvalitetsfisk is part of the Nordward Group, which includes two companies in Denmark.
In the fall of 2023, ABENA and Kvalitetsfisk initiated a collaboration that began with a request for disposable gloves for their production process.
“Gloves are very important for our production staff and for their working environment. In addition to being food-safe and meeting the requirements for handling fatty fish, they need to have a good grip, both for holding the raw materials and the knife.They also need to withstand the cold from ice and cold water”
- Cai Kindgren (Responsible for property and quality at Kvalitetsfisk and overseeing the procurement of consumables.)
For our Key Account Manager, this request meant undertaking a thorough search to find products that could meet Kvalitetsfisk’s needs. What began as a simple glove procurement evolved into a comprehensive proposal that included a wide range of items from ABENA’s assortment – all specifically tailored for food production and fish handling.
Looking for gloves that fit Cai’s description?
“I immediately had a good rapport with Ronnie, and he really went out of his way to find the right products for us. It turned out that ABENA could supply many of the items we use in our daily operations."
"We at Kvalitetsfisk are part of the Nordward Group, which includes two companies in Denmark, Flying Seafood Group and Fiskerikajen. The fact that ABENA can also supply these companies further solidified our decision to choose them as our supplier”
- Cai Kindgren (Responsible for property and quality at Kvalitetsfisk)
In ABENA, we have a wealth of experience and knowledge of the fish industry. This extensive network was a major advantage for our sales representative, when he crafted a tailored proposal for Kvalitetsfisk:
“I have benefited greatly from our Scandinavian collaboration, where we have experience with customers in countries like Norway and Iceland with similar needs to Kvalitetsfisk. ABENA is strong in food-safe products, and we are well-versed in all the regulations and requirements for the industry. It is reassuring for both me as a salesperson and for the customer that all certifications and other documentation are guaranteed to be in place.”
- Ronnie Mareskär (Key Account Manager in ABENA)
So far, we deliver gloves, hairnets, beard covers, aprons, garbage bags, waste containers, and paper towels to Kvalitetsfisk.
And Cai Kindgren is not ruling out additional products in the future:
“I am far from fully aware of everything ABENA can offer. For us, it is a big advantage to purchase as much as possible from one single supplier. Not only does it save us money, but it also reduces our environmental impact through fewer deliveries.”
