Infrastructure & Divisions
At SKR Exports India Private Limited, we believe that world-class seafood begins with world-class infrastructure. Every part of our operations, from sourcing to shipment, is backed by advanced facilities, robust processes, and divisions that work seamlessly together to uphold our promise of freshness, safety, and reliability.
Advanced Freezing & Cold Storage
Freshness is preserved through advanced freezing technologies, including trolley and plate freezers, along with IQF (Individually Quick Frozen) systems. These methods ensure rapid temperature reduction, locking in natural taste, texture, and nutrition while offering flexibility for a wide range of products.
Our in-house cold storage facility, with a holding capacity of 500 metric tons, ensures uninterrupted supply and maintains product integrity lot-wise and variety-wise. This allows us to serve global clients with confidence, even during peak demand.
In-House Quality Control Laboratory
Food safety is at the core of SKR’s operations. Our two-wing laboratory is equipped for:
-
Microbiological Testing – verifying the hygiene and safety of raw material, finished products, and sanitary samples.
-
Antibiotic Testing – ensuring raw materials are free from prohibited substances and compliant with international regulations.
This rigorous in-house testing system ensures that only products of the highest quality reach our customers.
Fishing Vessel Facilities
One of SKR’s unique strengths is owning and operating its own fishing vessels. This provides:
-
Direct access to fresh, wild-caught seafood.
-
Full control over how catches are handled and stored at sea.
-
Reliable traceability and superior quality from the source.
By reducing reliance on third parties, we strengthen our supply chain and ensure consistency across every shipment.
Refrigerated Transport & Ice Plant
Our commitment to freshness continues beyond the factory:
-
A fleet of temperature-controlled, insulated vehicles maintains the cold chain during transport, ensuring raw materials reach the facility without loss of quality.
-
An in-house tube ice plant supports daily operations, helping preserve optimal product conditions during handling and processing.
A Fully Integrated Ecosystem
What makes SKR truly different is the vertical integration of all its divisions. From fishing vessels and ice plants to processing, testing, cold storage, and logistics, every stage is managed by us.
This complete in-house ecosystem ensures:
-
Fresher products with uncompromised quality.
-
Reliable supply with minimized third-party dependency.
-
Traceability and accountability from source to shipment.
-
Timely delivery that meets global market demands.
At SKR Exports, our infrastructure is not just about technology, it is about trust. Every division, every process, and every system is designed to deliver seafood that carries the pride of Ratnagiri and the promise of excellence across the world.
Process Flow
Fresh raw material is procured directly from our own fishing vessels and trusted suppliers operating along Ratnagiri’s coast. Immediate handling with ice ensures the catch retains its natural freshness.Upon arrival, it undergoes quality checks as per the pre-defined standards before acceptance.
Sourcing and Receiving/Reception
Accepted raw material is transferred to the pre-processing section where activities such as washing, sorting, grading, peeling etc. are carried out all under strict hygiene to maintain freshness and consistency
Pre-processing
Pre-processed material is weighed and it is then packed into freezing trays. These trays are loaded onto trolleys and moved into freezers.
Processing
Using advanced freezing methods, including IQF, plate, and blast freezers , products are frozen quickly to lock in taste, texture, and nutrition while preventing bacterial growth.
Freezing
Once frozen, the product is unloaded from the freezers. It undergoes glazing process. Glazed products are then packed into LDPE bags, which are then packed into master cartons.
Frozen packing
Master cartons are stored lot-wise and variety-wise to our in-house cold storage facility, maintained at optimal temperatures to ensure product integrity until shipment.
Cold storage
Products are loaded into temperature-controlled containers and transported to ports under strict cold chain conditions. This ensures timely delivery while preserving the freshness our clients rely on.
Logistics & Export
Samples from every batch undergo rigorous microbiological and Chemical testing in our in-house laboratory. Only products meeting international standards move forward for dispatch.
