Saupiquet Rio Mare Thunfisch-Salat Cous Cous

Saupiquet is a well-established brand in the European canned fish market, recognized primarily for its association with the Italian brand Rio Mare. The product shown is a ready-to-eat tuna salad combined with couscous, chickpeas, carrots, and peas, marketed specifically for the German-speaking market.

Historically, Saupiquet was a French brand founded in Nantes in the 19th century. Today, it operates as a key subsidiary of the Bolton Group. While the brand has French roots, much of the production and branding strategy is now integrated with the Italian flagship brand, Rio Mare, leading to the dual-branding often seen on German packaging. Manufacturing typically occurs in the Bolton Group's specialized facilities located in Italy and other Mediterranean regions to ensure proximity to fresh seafood sources.

The Bolton Group, an Italian multinational corporation, manages a vast portfolio of consumer goods. Under their ownership, Saupiquet has expanded its range from traditional canned tuna to sophisticated, health-conscious meal solutions like the 'Insalatissime' line, which is sold under the Saupiquet name in Germany.
