Celebrating a 120-Year Legacy of Excellence in Seafood Production, Norwegian Premium Brand King Oscar Marks a Milestone BERGEN, November 24, 2022 – The esteemed Norwegian seafood brand, King Oscar, is delighted to commemorate its 120th anniversary on November 29th, 2022\. With a rich history dating back to 1902, King Oscar has established itself as a beacon of quality and taste in the seafood industry. Under the leadership of Bjørn Nordvik, Managing Director, King Oscar has expanded its reach, offering over 200 specialty seafood products across 29 countries on six continents. The brand's journey began when King Oscar II of Norway was so taken by the quality of the Brisling sardines produced by the Norwegian Stavanger Preserving Company that he granted the company the honor of bearing his name – a privilege that King Oscar cherishes to this day. Maintaining the tradition of excellence, King Oscar still produces the Wild Caught Brisling Sardines that earned the royal endorsement, alongside a wide array of innovative and supremely tasty seafood products. The brand's commitment to quality has only strengthened over the years, with its product turnover doubling to more than EUR 100 million since being acquired by Thai Union Group in 2014\. In its latest venture, King Oscar has introduced a premium line of Yellowfin Tuna, available in four delectable flavors: Extra Virgin Olive Oil with Green Olives, Extra Virgin Olive Oil with Sundried Tomatoes, Extra Virgin Olive Oil with Jalapeño Peppers, and Extra Virgin Olive with Herbs de Provence. Bjørn Nordvik, reflecting on the brand's storied past and bright future, stated, "King Oscar is deeply rooted in history and tradition, earning the trust of consumers worldwide as a leader in Norwegian seafood. Our goal is to continue delivering the highest quality, most flavorful seafood in a sustainable manner, setting the stage for another century of success and offering the finest selections from the oceans."
