Tohfe

Tohfe is an Iranian seafood brand whose operations began in 2001 with the development of manufacturing facilities in the Konarak area of Sistan and Baluchestan Province. Its original production base was built around the Sahel Sayd Konarak complex, while subsequent investment in frozen-seafood processing, packaging, machinery and by-product utilisation expanded the business beyond canned fish into a broader seafood value chain.

Canned tuna remains one of Tohfe's core product categories, although the portfolio now extends across a much wider range of seafood formats. Products include tuna in oil, brine and olive oil; flavoured tuna varieties such as chilli, dill, olive and smoked; canned trout, shrimp and sardines; tuna with beans; tuna salad; and Iranian-style dishes such as tuna ghalieh, gheimeh and ghormeh. Alongside canned products, the brand also offers frozen and ready-to-cook fish and shrimp, fillets and steaks, and products packed in vacuum and other specialised formats.

Canned products are primarily manufactured at the Sahel Sayd Konarak Production Complex, while Protein Arman Jonoub focuses on processing, freezing and packing fish and shrimp. The wider group also operates Arman Gostar Novin Konarak for metal-can production, Daneh Talaie for fish by-products, Arman Sanat for food-industry machinery and Darya Salamat for distribution. International trade has also formed part of the group's commercial activity, with Tohfe seafood products having a documented presence in export markets.

From an industrial perspective, the significance of this structure lies in combining several preservation and processing systems close to southern seafood sources. Canning depends heavily on thermal processing, seam integrity and commercial sterility, whereas frozen seafood relies on rapid freezing, temperature control and an uninterrupted cold chain to preserve texture and quality. Integrating these systems with packaging capabilities and the utilisation of fish by-products gives Tohfe a relatively integrated operating model across the seafood-processing value chain.
