Summary
Dietrich Möwes is skilled Entrepreneur highly proficient at defining mission statements, strategic plans and income-generating strategies. Intelligent leader with strong background in customer acquisition and revenue generation.
Pelagio Fishing CC specializes in the sourcing, supply, and distribution of a wide range of fish and fish-related products throughout Namibia. The company focuses on procuring the freshest fish from local fishermen, established processing factories, and aquaculture farms to ensure consistent quality and reliability of supply.
The business was founded by Dietrich Möwes, a 26-year-old entrepreneur with a vision to retail and distribute fish products both domestically and internationally. Pelagio Fishing CC supplies fresh, frozen, and dried fish products to a diverse client base, including restaurants, lodges, cafeterias, and hotels across Namibia.
Pelagio Fishing began operations informally in 2019, when the founder supplied fish to university lecturers and fellow students as a means of generating additional income. This initiative was driven by a long-term ambition to establish one of Namibia’s leading fish trading businesses. In 2021, following the passing of his father, who was a farmer, the founder was required to ensure that the fish business could sustainably support the ongoing operations of the family farm and as a result had to stop studying.
Recognizing the growth potential and profitability of the industry, the business was formally registered as a Close Corporation in 2022 and has operated in this structure since then. Over the years, Pelagio Fishing CC has grown from a small start-up into a reputable supplier, delivering significant volumes of fish products to leading restaurants and hospitality establishments across Namibia
