The Quinlan Advantage

The Quinlan Advantage ( Quinland Brothers Ltd ) founded in 1954 by brothers Patrick and Maurice Quinlan is now a third generation family owned and operated business. It has evolved from a traditional local fish processing operation, to a multi-species player in the global fishing industry, exporting quality products to over twenty countries worldwide. Its plants are nestled between the Eastern edge of North America and the North Atlantic Ocean in the communities of Bay de Verde and Old Perlican, Newfoundland – where people have fished since the 1600’s. The company owns a 80,000 sq ft HACCP certified Shellfish processing facility in close proximity to the resource, enabling almost 80% of its fleet to land their catch directly at the wharf.
