Rockabill Seafood Ltd is a privately owned Irish company formed in 1984. Its owners, the Price family, have a tradition in the fishing industry going back many generations. The family-run company operates its own fleet of trawlers, refrigerated trucks and a number of processing plants located in Ireland and the UK.

The products they supply include, frozen and fresh Scampi, live and frozen razor clams, monkfish, velvet crab, cooked and live brown crab, cockles, whole fish and fish fillets, as well as a number of other seafood products.

Rockabill seafood specialises in 'Fresh & Frozen' seafood products and invests time, capital and management effort to ensure the integrity of its cold supply chain. The company's goal is to attain a seamless connection between the seabed and consumers so as to ensure that 'Fresh Frozen' is fresher than fresh and that our fresh product is the freshest.

Emydex was implemented at all the company’s production facilities.

What Rockabill Says

“Emydex has become a crucial and integral part of our organisation. They have reshaped the way we implement solutions throughout our production facilities. There are so many matrices involved with the processing of fish and shellfish, and Emydex have simplified all of these to make our lives easier.”
