In October we pack our bags to travel to Vigo (Pontevedra), where we will once again participate in the International Fair of Frozen Seafood Products (Conxemar), one of the most important in the national sector, as well as an unmissable event for professionals worldwide. For the sixth consecutive year, Mariscos Apolo will be present at this event, which is expected to attract around 40,000 people– last year around 24,200 people from 84 countries visited the Instituto Ferial de Vigo (IFEVI), where it is held.
As curious notes on the growing expectation of this edition, it should be noted that Vigo’s hotels are almost full for a month, or that airlines such as Vueling will reinforce their flights between Vigo and Barcelona on the days of the event, which will take place from October 7 to 9.
2014 edition
The frozen food fair is also loaded with new features in this new edition: its surface area will be increased by 1,000 square meters, reaching 32,500 m2, and its international participation will be increased. In fact, countries such as the United Kingdom, Morocco, Nicaragua, Brazil and Chile will have their first pavilions.
As we mentioned last year, Conxemar gets its name from the group that organizes it, of the same name: the Spanish Association of Wholesalers, Importers, Processors and Exporters of Fishery and Aquaculture Products, consolidated as an important instrument of union in the Spanish frozen sector.
Since its creation 16 years ago, this meeting of frozen fish companies has gradually increased the number of visitors and exhibitors, while making quality and professionalism its hallmarks. With such a track record, how could we miss the event? Already in the last edition we had the opportunity to present a new product:green boxes of frozen cooked prawns and frozen raw prawns..
As we mentioned at the time, this format has a more affordable price, thanks to the introduction of new techniques that allow us to prepare the product in facilities located in the areas of origin of their collection, so they land in Spain in record time, retaining properties and top quality at a much more competitive cost.
On this occasion we will show you all the artillery and, in addition to our green boxes of raw and frozen cooked prawns, we will show you other products that we prepare and pack in Mariscos Apolo, from the best fishing grounds in the world. We list some of the delicious seafood, which we treat with the most innovative systems of the frozen food industry to obtain the vitamins and essential nutrients of each food:
At Mariscos Apolo we have a wide range of Gold Series products, a label that distinguishes their superior quality.
In this format we pack cooked tiger prawns, in boxes of 30/40 pieces; cooked langoustine, in boxes of 10/15 pieces; and cooked shrimp, in boxes of 20/30 pieces.
This tasty deep-frozen cooked red crab, popularly known as Russian legs, is packed in 800 grams boxes.
At Mariscos Apolo we have a modern and exclusive octopus cooker that distinguishes us in the commercialization of this product. Hence the extra quality of our cooked octopus, such as the Apolo Cooked Octopus Leg.
We stop here the list with the promise to continue this installment dedicated to Apolo products that will accompany us to Conxemar 2014. We invite you, however, to know them first hand by passing by our stand, J16, which you can locate on this map.We are waiting for you in Vigo!
