In 2011, Mazzetta accepted SeaShare's inaugural Seafood Donor of the Year award. Mazzetta, a fully integrated producer and importer of shrimp, mussels, lobster, and finfish, was recognized for its tilapia and salmon donations to SeaShare. Mazzetta is an almost 40-year-old family run business with headquarters in Highland Park, Il.

From their website, "Mazzetta Company is a family business at heart, which explains both our passion for the business and the pride we take in providing our customers with premium quality frozen seafood. Our family has been in the seafood business for nearly 40-years. We have worked hard to assemble a team of dedicated professionals to serve all of our customers – from mom-and-pop corner markets to the biggest retailers worldwide."

"As we have said many times, Mazzetta Company is not just our business; it is our family name and our heritage. We are both humbled and extremely proud of the accomplishments we have made since our founding in 1987, but with success we have also been mindful of the great responsibilities we bear. For this reason, Mazzetta Company has long been a careful steward of our environment. We are a leader in employing best operating practices aimed at meeting our customers' needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs."

Mazzetta continues to be an integral SeaShare partner supporting the delivery of seafood to food banks across the country. Since the company's first donation to SeaShare in 2009, Mazzetta has donated more than 2.2 million seafood servings to our programs. Thank you Mazzetta!
