Criaderos de Mariscos S.A (CRIMASA) – Pioneers in Ecuadorian Shrimp Farming
Criaderos de Mariscos S.A, widely recognized as CRIMASA, is one of Ecuador’s historic leaders in shrimp aquaculture. Established in July 1978 in the Balao Canton of Guayas Province, the company was founded by a group of visionary private investors who saw the vast potential of Ecuador’s coastal ecosystem for sustainable shrimp farming. From the very beginning, CRIMASA positioned itself as a pioneer in the Ecuadorian shrimp industry, laying the foundation for what is today one of the country’s most important export sectors.
A Legacy of Innovation in Shrimp Aquaculture
What sets Criaderos de Mariscos S.A apart is its early commitment to developing advanced aquaculture systems. The company’s shrimp ponds were designed with state of the art infrastructure, including water management systems and environmental controls that ensure shrimp are cultivated under optimal conditions. This dedication to innovation has allowed CRIMASA to guarantee healthy, high-quality shrimp that meet the strictest standards of international markets.
From Hatchery to Global Distribution
Unlike many shrimp exporters, CRIMASA integrates nearly every stage of the production cycle. From its larval laboratories and breeding programs to harvesting, processing, packaging, and export logistics, the company ensures full traceability and consistency. This comprehensive approach has made Criaderos de Mariscos S.A a trusted supplier of Ecuadorian shrimp across Europe, Asia, and the Americas.
Commitment to Sustainability and Quality
Sustainability is at the core of CRIMASA’s philosophy. The company follows farming practices that respect Ecuador’s natural ecosystems, avoiding harmful chemicals and prioritizing environmental balance. Its facilities comply with international certifications and quality standards, giving customers the confidence that every shrimp produced is not only safe and nutritious but also responsibly farmed.
Global Recognition
Over the decades, CRIMASA has built a solid reputation as a premium shrimp exporter from Ecuador, supplying some of the most demanding seafood markets in the world. By combining over four decades of expertise with modern processing facilities and a commitment to excellence, Criaderos de Mariscos S.A continues to strengthen Ecuador’s position as a world leader in shrimp exports.
