Endeavor Seafood was established in 2001 by 3 long-time seafood supply chain professionals. Having held senior seafood sourcing positions with some of the top food companies in the country, the founders of Endeavor have a strong understanding of the important needs of its customers such as strict product specification compliance, continuity of supply, timely and accurate information, sustainability, and on-time deliveries. With over 60 years of combined international sourcing experience, Endeavor’s management team has developed strategic relationships with a global network of premier seafood producers. Many of these producers have unique access or ownership of their respective resources. Given this extensive network, Endeavor is able to tailor the best possible specie, product form, and source of supply to meet the individual objectives of its customers.
