The Dutch have always been a seafaring nation, building up a significant trading empire that spanned the globe at its 17th century height. While its imperial past is now consigned to history, the fruits of its strong relationship with the sea continue to be enjoyed. Headquartered in Amsterdam, the beating heart of the fish-loving Netherlands, van Meines Vis BV has been supplying high-quality fish and seafood products to the hotel, restaurant and catering sector for over 50 years. For the past five years, the company has also targeted the retail sector, a move that has led to the construction of a new processing plant.
