Pioneering Success and Industry Impact
Senkal, Inc. has been a trailblazer in the fishing industry, particularly within Turkey. In partnership with the Denizer Family -a name synonymous with Turkish fishing for over five generations- we co-created Turkey's Bluefin Tuna sector in collaboration with Japan, which has since become an essential component of the global tuna industry. Our impact extended further as one of the pioneers in Turkey's salmon industry, again close partnership with Denizer family, POLIFISH (www.polifish.com.tr) in Trabzon. These collaborations, initiated in the 1970s, continue to thrive today, reinforcing our shared legacy of success and industry leadership.
