At the beginning of Seawork, hand filleting was the only option but with years, there has been some propositions like why not use machines to do it. It was a brilliant idea to use machines so that we can reduce cost on the long term basis and generate more profit but the boss was not really keen with it. We were quite anxious about his idea but finally it seems that nowadays it is our most effective tool. What would have been a saving in cost has become an extraordinary flexibility for the company.
OK, it may seems strange what I just wrote but you will understand pretty soon. Because of our different demand for Hake products it is quite hard to constantly change machines and re-organized everything, whereas while keeping our labor force working, changing the process is just a matter of second. I am not kidding, it took only 30 seconds, everything changed, weight, type of the processing (skin on or off or boned or deboned) everything moved so quickly. We process 20 tons minimum per day and believe if we have 5 clients ordering Hake locally we should be able to deliver the next day with the required specifications.
This is the business aspect of the company but on the other hand, we offer jobs to 700 people and 100 additional people at sea. We contribute to the Namibian economy in various ways. Thanks to our company but a bigger thank you for our labor force we are able to give the most out of our processing plant. This is because we look after our employees and offer them good work conditions that they are so productive and enthusiastic to come to work.
