HQ Sustainable Maritime Industries, Inc . (“HQ”) HQ Sustainable Maritime Industries, Inc. is an integrated aquaculture and aquatic product processing company, with operations based in the environmentally pristine island province of Hainan, in the South China Sea. HQS practices co-operative sustainable aquaculture, using nutraceutically enriched feeds and conducting fish processing and sales. The company is dedicated to sustainable toxin-free methods giving its customers the purest products possible. The Company holds HACCP certification from the U.S. FDA and the EU Code assignment of quality, permitting its products to be sold in these international markets. The Aquaculture Certification Council, Inc. (ACC) certified that tilapia processing standards met Best Aquaculture Practices, and the Chinese government gave organic certification to the Company’s tilapia production, processing, labeling, marketing and management system. The Company owns a nutraceuticals and health products company, which is HACCP and GMP certified, and produces and sells products subject to stringent laboratory tests certified by the China Ministry of Health. This GMP certified plant produces nutraceuticals, which enrich feed used by HQS’ cooperative aquaculture operations. In addition to headquarters in Seattle, HQ has operational offices in Wenchang, Hainan. The Company’s website is: www.hqfish.com.
Bringing state-of-the-art technologies to the fishing and aquaculture industries, HQ is China's leading producer of quality tilapia fish exports to the U.S., commanding a large percentage of market share. Total U.S. consumption of tilapia products has risen from less than $20 million in 1992 to nearly $560 million in 2007, which is the import price. If the Retail value is taken this figure would be almost double (See American Tilapia Association).
According to the American Tilapia Association, world production of tilapia products reached 2,600,000 metric tons live weight in 2007, of which China produced the dominant share of over 40 percent.
HQ's superior location on the environmentally pristine tropical island of Hainan province, its vertical integration for hands-on quality control, and its Western management team provide important competitive advantages. With its Head Office in Seattle and operations in Wenchang city in Hainan province, China, the company's business focus is on bringing the ‘Highest Quality’ to consumers respectful of environmental and corporate obligations. Meeting obligations to future generations regarding sustainability falls within these obligations.
HQ is principally engaged in harvesting, processing, sales and marketing of farm-bred products. The company also has freezing storage facilities with a capacity of 3,000 metric tons and aquatic products processing bases in Hainan. Three processing plants are operating or under construction;
* A 30,000 MT per year live weight Tilapia processing plant certified HACCP by the CIQ, USDA, ACC, ETI and BRC;
* A fish by-products processing facility, producing GMP certified health products sold principally in China;
* A 100,000 MT per year feed mill, the first to produce an extruded organic feed in China.
Environmental and Quality Assurance
HQ adopts and implements stringent quality control measures and procedures throughout its production process.
The company's vertical integration permits it to control the quality of its products at all stages of production.
HQ's products have obtained HACCP Certification and EU Code assignment. HACCP is a USDA program that sets standards and monitors sanitation measures in processing plants for food products . The EU Code assignment certifies that HQ's products meet EU importable food standards set by the relevant inspection agencies. These certifications shave been vetted against more complete certification standards adopted by various regions in relation to the production of quality Tilapia products, USDA, BRC, ACC and ETI.
HQ agrees with the Food and Agriculture Organization in seeing aquaculture as the ultimate way to source aquatic products in response to increasing world demand for quality seafood products. The latest technologies in aquaculture can provide healthy chemical free products while respecting environmental and social concerns. This is the main focus for us at HQ.
