Founded in 1982 in Boulogne-sur-Mer by Jacques Dutertre and Freddy Paque, Freshpack was born out of a shared passion for seafood, culinary innovation and the desire to pass on family expertise. From the very beginning, the company chose to build its growth on the quality, traceability and sustainability of its supply chains, forging relationships of trust with its employees, suppliers and customers.
Specialising in frozen seafood and exotic products, Freshpack now offers a wide range of creative and convenient frozen meals: snacks, finger food, skewers, ready meals, soups and desserts. This diversity demonstrates the company’s ability to innovate whilst remaining true to its founding values: a commitment to quality, respect for resources, and sustainability.
With a team of 25 passionate employees and a family heritage, Freshpack upholds a model based on personal commitment, the sharing of expertise and a constant pursuit of quality. This approach enables us to offer our customers authentic, delicious and creative products.
