Jean-Charles Diener
WE ARE SPECIALIST IN
SEAFOOD SOURCING
AND QUALITY CONTROL
Since 1999, Jean-Charles Diener [1] continuously and diligently contributed in the best possible way to the Vietnamese seafood development and in 2006, he founded OFCO which became an associate member of VASEP[2] in February 2008
With more than a decade of expertise in Seafood from Vietnam, our company has reached our ultimate goal to serve you better.
Starting with OFCO Sourcing, our expert knowledge of the Vietnamese seafood market has built us a reputation for «finding the right supplier for the right customer».
But to preserve our integrity and despite our strong initial development as agent, we intentionally took the risk in 2008 to stop our service as agent and concentrate on Pre-shipment inspection, Loading supervision and Consulting services. Considering we cannot be judge and party at the same time, we firmly believe that we cannot correctly judge the quality of the consignment if we are also responsible for buying this consignment.
OFCO Sourcing is now part of OFCO Group, which offers exhaustive services catering to each and everyone’s specific needs in the seafood business.
In OFCO Group, we clearly separate Sourcing with our free online database (www.ofcodatabase.info) from the Inspection.
