The Foppen smoked seafood brand is looking to expand aggressively in the US market, through both retail and foodservice, said Remko Vedder, sales director USA for the Dutch Seafood Company, which is the result of two of the Netherland's biggest seafood processors joining forces in summer 2018 -- shrimp specialist Klaas Puul and Foppen, one of Europe's biggest salmon processors.

Foppen has long had its smoked salmon products in Costco for some time, but more recently it has broadened its reach with an expanding product line to stores within the Kroger family of supermarkets, the HEB chain in Texas, Harris Teeter and others.
