At the plant the products arrive daily and are cleaned, processed, frozen, packed, and stored, ready for customer delivery. All frozen export shipments are in 20-foot or 40-foot reefer containers shipped through the port of Tanga. Weekly vessels call at the port.

Sea Products Ltd. was formed in Tanga in 1996. It grew out of a family business created by Eric Allard, Vally Allard, and Frank Cuppens in 1993. In 1998 Sea Products Ltd. moved into their new and state-of-the-art seafood processing plant. The new plant is located within the SIDO Industrial Estate compound in Tanga. In building the new plant, Sea Products Ltd. used the experience of its owners to convert four unutilized buildings into their new 1,500 m2 processing plant.

In designing and constructing the new processing plant, Sea Products Ltd. implemented the requirements outlined in EEC Council Directive 91/493/EEC that governs the construction of seafood processing plants that intend to manufacture products destined for the EEC market. In addition to that, a Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) system of processing was implemented to ascertain that the company's objective, as described in the mission statement, was achieved.
