An afternoon of insight and taste with Thai Spring Fish

Bangkok, 19 November 2025 – The Thai-Italian Chamber of Commerce (TICC) transformed
the TICC Connect into a hub of culinary innovation and strategic dialogue, gathering leaders from
the F&B, hospitality, and retail sectors. The initiative highlighted the partnership with 
Thai Spring Fish Co., Ltd., the Thai Subsidiary of Panapesca Group, while offering a broader 
view of the seafood industry’s evolution.

Mr. Giovanni Sabino, CEO of PanaPesca Group, together with Ms. Laura Thorsteinsson,
Export Manager, presented the Group’s international reach and its commitment to sustainability,
traceability, and product excellence. Their contribution aligned with the insights shared by Mr.
Gaurav Sunil Kumar, CEO of Thai Spring Fish Co., Ltd., Mr. Vincenzo Crucinio, CFO, and the
COO Mr. Diego Acuña López, who illustrated how these principles translate into operational
processes and market dynamics within the Thai context, offering a unified perspective on current
and future industry trends.

The afternoon opened with a networking lunch curated by Chef Ermanno Lelli, who guided guests
through a refined tasting menu. Highlights included a pan-seared scallop with rosemary cannellini
beans and Tom Yum oil, Argentine Langostino paired with orange-onion chutney and caramelized
bacon, and a deep-fried interpretation of Roman Cacio e Pepe accompanied by a lemongrass
confit and a Sardinian-style seafood medley.

After lunch, Mr. Vincenzo Crucinio led a focused seminar on the operational structure of the Thai
Spring Fish Co.,Ltd., complemented by a hands-on product showcase that allowed participants to
examine the quality and variety of the seafood selection. The presentation reinforced the Group’s
“sea to shelf” philosophy and its adherence to rigorous safety and traceability standards.

The event highlighted the shared commitment of PanaPesca Group to advancing excellence,
sustainability, and innovation in the seafood sector. The TICC extends its sincere appreciation to
Mr. Giovanni Sabino, Ms. Laura Thorsteinsson, Mr. Gaurav Sunil Kumar, Mr. Vincenzo
Crucinio, and Mr. Diego Acuña López for their leadership, and to Chef Ermanno Lelli for
delivering an exceptional culinary experience. Finally, to the professionals who joined us: your
