Capabilities · Processing

Two facilities. Three certifications.
Across the strait.

Processing happens at two Group facilities — BXTW-FAC-1 in Kaohsiung Qianzhen and BXGC-FAC-3 in Fuzhou. Between them, primary processing, secondary cutting, seasoning, and value-added forms run continuously, with each plant holding the regulatory approvals required by its destination markets. The two-plant footprint is the operational basis for cross-strait coverage.

Two Facilities

Two-facility, cross-strait processing.

The two plants are deliberately separated by jurisdiction. BXTW-FAC-1 in Kaohsiung operates under TFDA HACCP for Taiwan-origin processing and re-export. BXGC-FAC-3 in Fuzhou holds GACC certification for both Mainland China domestic distribution and China-origin export. Both are EU-listed.

Lineage 2003 — modernisedAutomated lines + refrigeration

Specialty Cleaned squid · cephalopod cuts

From vessel discharge to container load.

Each line covers the canonical four-tier process — primary processing into secondary cutting into seasoning into value-added forms. Pack format, freezing format, glaze percentage, and treatment routing are configured at the inquiry stage rather than fixed at the line.

Process flow · per consignment

Vessel discharge → Primary → Cutting → Seasoning → Value-add → Freeze · Glaze → Pack → Cold storage

Primary processing — overhead studio shot of graded raw material: saury on a round wooden board, squid (cleaned tube and tentacles) on a rectangular board, and a small dish of squid rings, arranged on dark walnut.

Tier I · Primary

Grading & primary cuts

Sort by species, size, and grade. Eviscerate and establish the primary form before secondary processing.

Grading Sorting Primal cut Evisceration

Secondary cutting — overhead studio shot of a cleaned squid tube on a round wooden cutting board with a chef's knife, alongside small dishes of diced squid and squid rings.

Tier II · Cutting

Secondary cuts

Secondary cuts performed to spec. Patterned cuts (cross-hatch, rosette) on cephalopod tubes are an established squid-line specialty.

Fillet Ring Strip Dice Shred Patterns

Seasoning tier — overhead studio shot of a marinated cleaned squid on a metal grilling rack with chopsticks lifting strips of marinated squid from a small black dish.

Tier III · Seasoning

Coating & marinating

Marinade dwell, batter application, breading, smoke ovens. Routed to the appropriate post-processing path per buyer spec.

Battering Breading Marinating Smoking

Value-added tier — overhead studio shot of formed and finished products: pan-fried squid cakes with chili dipping sauce, surimi-paste fishball nests on a rectangular dish, and grilled seafood sausages.

Tier IV · Value-add

Formed & finished

Formed and assembled product — surimi paste lines, skewer assembly, fishball forming, prepared salad lines, sausage processing.

Squid Capability

Squid is the anchor across both facilities.

BXTW-FAC-1 runs Illex argentinus cleaned tubes, rings, carved squid, and tentacles, plus Calamari Steak for North American foodservice. BXGC-FAC-3 runs the deeper range — broader Illex cut variants plus the in-house Dosidicus gigas line.

SW Atlantic raw material — drawn from Taiwan-origin Falklands EEZ-licensed jiggers, Mainland China high-seas jiggers, and Argentine-EEZ fleet partnerships — processed at both facilities into structured cleaned-cephalopod ranges.

Treatment Optionality

EU-treated or non-treated. Buyer's choice.

Both BXTW-FAC-1 and BXGC-FAC-3 operate dual post-processing paths on the cleaned-tube and value-added lines. Each consignment is routed to the EU-treated path or the non-treated path at the buyer's choice — the choice is reflected in the unit price and declared on the catch certificate. The default for EU consignments is treated; the default for Asian markets is non-treated. Either can be requested explicitly.

Mode · Standard

Existing size, cuts, freezing method, packaging.

For inquiries that fit the catalog. 10kg or 5kg carton, standard IQF or Block freezing, glaze and treatment defaults per origin and species. Default carton specifications listed on each species page.

Mode · Custom

Customisable size, cuts, freezing method, packaging.

For inquiries with specific retail or foodservice pack requirements. Private label and custom-spec orders accepted; minimum order quantities vary by product, configuration, and treatment routing — confirmed at the inquiry stage. Cut dimensions, ring widths, glaze percentage, bag size, master carton, and treatment routing all adjusted to spec.

Plant Approvals

Plant approvals by destination market.

Each plant holds the listings required to serve its destination markets. BXTW-FAC-1 is structured around Taiwan-origin processing and re-export; BXGC-FAC-3 serves both China-origin export and the Mainland China domestic market. Destination-market listings are verifiable through the relevant authority.

Broader Range

Beyond squid.

The four-tier flow runs across the broader processing range. Pacific saury, mackerels, and the wider value-added category share the same lines and the same approval base; the squid line's operational depth carries across.
