Senior Sales Manager Europe – Frozen Shrimp

The organisation

The parent organization is one of India’s leading producers and exporters of frozen shrimp, specialising in the production, processing and international distribution of both raw and value-added shrimp products. The company operates a fully integrated supply chain, serving leading retailers, foodservice players and distributors across Europe, the United States, Canada and Asia.

Driven by changing global trade dynamics and the ambition to further diversify its markets, the organization is strengthening its European footprint. To support this strategy, the European commercial entity Sealuxe has been established in the Netherlands. This organisation serves as the commercial hub for Europe, enabling closer customer relationships, participation in retailer tenders requiring a local legal presence, and a more professionalised go-to-market approach across the EU.

The organization continuously invests in product quality, food safety, operational excellence and long-term partnerships. With Europe as a key growth pillar, the company offers experienced professionals the opportunity to build sustainable business with long-term impact.

Sealuxe combines entrepreneurial ownership with international scale. The culture is pragmatic, commercially driven and hands-on, with short lines of communication and direct decision-making. As the European organisation is in a build-up phase, there is strong emphasis on ownership, independence and initiative, while working closely with international teams to build a solid and sustainable business for the future.
