Processing
|
Our team is well trained to avail you with the best possible seafood products. Luke Export follows a uniquely designed methodology to process marine foods for ensuring that natural taste is always maintained.
The very first step starts with the washing and cleaning of the raw material as soon as it reaches the factory. This is followed by quality testing and precise weighing. After that the product is transferred to the processing hall. Our team maintains immense attention right from the receiving of raw material to the delivery of finished products thus always succeeding in maintaining international standards.
At present, we have two units- one was established in 2002 at Sakthikulangara in Kerala and later we started one more at Padanthalumoodu in Tamil Nadu which was commissioned in March 2007.
We rely on the latest technological features and have great infrastructural facilities which include pre-processing hall, processing hall, effluent treatment plants and cold storage. All machineries are operated by highly professional and extremely dedicated manpower. Luke Export also provides our esteem customers with royal room facilities so that their purchasing process is not just worthy but also convenient.
