Tonnino announces the inauguration of its New Water Treatment Plant!

Sardimar/Tonnino, Leader Company in the production and commercialization of seafood products in the Caribbean and Central America, wants to share its excitement by announcing the inauguration of its New Water Treatment Plant, activity that will take place in March of the present year.

This expansion involved an investment totaling US$7 million, and aside from doubling our water treatment capacity to 1,600 cubic meters per day, it also uses new anaerobic technology that allows us to capture the methane gas coming from the water purification process and use it as combustible. In doing so, we have significantly contributed in the improvement of the purified water's quality, and have dramatically reduced the purification process´ impact on the environment.

We consider that our Water Treatment Plant is consistent with the goal established by the Costa Rican government of achieving that Costa Rica will become a "carbon neutral country" in the short run. It not only drastically reduces the emission of highly damaging gases in terms of global warming, but also with this important project our company reiterates its corporate decision to protect nature, as it is from Mother Nature that we obtain our most important raw material.

Since 1975, Sardimar/Tonnino has successfully commercialized sardine and tuna conserves, and has constantly strived for innovation and expansion to other fields, like the production of canned and gourmet seafood. Continuous innovation has allowed the company to diversify in flavors and presentations, as well as to incorporate new product lines, experience that has allowed us to commercialize in 29 countries all over the world.

Our Production Plant is located in El Roble in Puntarenas, place where our soon-to-be inaugurated Water Treatment Plant will operate.

It will be our pleasure if you could join our enthusiasm in this memorable event!
