About Hawesta

Hawesta is a German canned fish brand that Thai Union says stands for taste, honest craftsmanship and passion for good fish, across herring, mackerel and tuna. It is one of three German names the group owns, which is a fair measure of how national the canned fish business remains even when a single company owns all of it.
