About Vanelli
Vanelli is one of the proprietary seafood brands Unimer Group's own September 2024 semi-annual report names and depicts among its current marques, alongside Titus, La Monégasque and Madrigal. It descends from a French anchovy-processing business led by Thierry Vanelli that merged with La Monégasque's Moroccan operations in 2008 and, per Unimer's December 2010 regulatory filing, joined Unimer SA itself through the January 2011 fusion, with Vanelli going on to direct the merged group's purchasing, logistics and R&D.
