Copernus joins the Suempol company family

Friday, 11 October, 2024
The year 2024 is a special year for Suempol which celebrates its 35th anniversary. In this exceptional time Suempol is taking another ambitious step in its development by acquiring 100% shares in Copernus Ltd based in Hull. Copernus is a leading supplier of fresh fish on the UK market.
Suempol is the oldest producer of smoked salmon in Poland and one of the largest in the world. Its headquarters and main production plant are located in Bielsk Podlaski. The history of the company dates back to 1989. The company’s current position was achieved thanks to successful previous foreign acquisitions.

The roots of Copernus company also date back to the 1980s when it started selling fish on the wholesale market. Since then Copernus has been growing dynamically, becoming a producer of a wide range of fresh refrigerated products that reach the shelves of leading supermarkets throughout the United Kingdom. The company’s offer includes salmon, cod, haddock in various forms as well as other species of fish.

The philosophy of Copernus is based on long-standing family values, honesty, integrity and transparency. The company places a strong emphasis on close collaboration with partners, creating products that are closely developed with them to directly address consumer needs.

The modern Copernus production plant is located in Hull which is one of the main centres of the fishing industry in Great Britain. Each year, the facility produces an average of 52 million portions of seafood.

– The entry of Copernus company into the Suempol family is a key element of our company’s long-term strategy focused on expansion into new markets. The British fish market is one of the leading markets in Europe in terms of seafood consumption and through collaboration we have the opportunity to achieve an even better position there. An additional value is the ability to offer our existing customers a wider range of products. Our portfolio will include new fish species such as cod and haddock. We believe that both the management team and all employees of Copernus will continue to contribute to the company’s success.  In recent years, Copernus has secured a leading position in the UK fish market, and the support of the Suempol group will help it better leverage both current and future opportunities. We are very happy that Copernus company has joined Suempol family and we hope that through our joint efforts and determination we will achieve further successes – said Maciej Jaworowski vice-president of Suempol Management Board.
