“From Sea to Shelf”
Past
Proiseail (An Clochan Liath) Teoranta, trading as Irish Fish Canners first opened its doors as a fish canning factory in September 1977. A local ambitious entrepreneur Michael J. Bonner purchased the company in 1988 while it was operating on a 3-day working week. Michael’s vision for the business was to provide sustainable jobs within the local community by utilizing what nature provided, premium quality canned fish from the sustainable cold clear waters of the North Atlantic Ocean.
Michael’s established background in sales of
pelagic fish helped him secure
UN Food-Aid contracts, supplying premium quality, locally caught Herring and Mackerel canned fish to international markets. Following Michael’s untimely passing in 1993 the company remains within the Bonner family. Irish Fish Canners is a 100% family owned and run business with all family members working within the company
