A Journey of Passion and Expansion
Gava Foods was founded by Jorge Azar, a visionary with a passion for the sea and a deep respect for the environment. Starting with humble operations in Ecuador, he gradually expanded to Panama, where he built the company’s foundation. Over the years, Gava Foods extended its reach to Uruguay, Argentina, and other origins, becoming a trusted name in premium seafood exports across diverse destinations.
