With today's ever increasing demand for quality by the consumer, Lucky
Union Food saw a niche in the market for the production of surimi-based
analogues, particulary in the form of imitation crab meat.
Lucky Union Foods (LUF) is a Board of Investment sponsored joint venture
between Thai and Korean partner and was established in June 1990.
The plant is ideally located in samut Sakorn Industrial Estate which is
both close to the abundant source of fish produce from the Gulf of Siam
and directly connected to the major highways to bangkok and the port.
Lucky Union's reputation is founded upon premium quality and cleanliness.
All raw materials and ingredients are carefully checked by our quality
control technicians before passing to production.
Compromise is not the name of our game, and sub-standard material is rejected
and returned.
The imitation crab meat is hygenically processed and manufactured from
carefully selected minced white fish, or surimi, and mixed with wheat starch
and egg whites. The natural crab flavouring and colouring is then added
to anhance the taste and create an appearance. The entire process is carefully
controlled by our "state-of-the-art" processing and freezing
machinery.
Nowadays the consumer has become more and more concerned with sanitation
on the factory floor.
Our well-trained staff receive regular up-date training programmes on hygene,
good manufacturing practises (G.M.P.) and quality improvmentprocesses (Q.I.P.).
This attention to detail, coupled with quality control technicians and
our in-house microbiologists monitoring international standards, has ensured
that we meet the stringent standards set by the governments of the U.S.A.,
Canada, European Comunity countries, japan and Australia to whom we export
to.
Reserch is an important part of setting the standards for the futureand
creating a growth pattern for Lucky Union Foods. Our
reserch and development technicians are continually searching for better
ingredients, finer tastes, more appetizing appearances and more advanced
processes, styles, products and packaging ideas.
Lucky Union Foods also co-develops products to meet our customers specific
market needs and special applications. The imitation crab meat has been
applied to a variety of recipes that include Seafood Cocktails, Seafood
marinara, Seafood stuffings, Pizzas, Appetizers, Dips, Sandwiches, salads
and many more.
