Lucky Star Cannery — St Helena Bay

St Helena Bay, Western Cape, South Africa

Oceana Group's principal Lucky Star cannery on the West Coast. Processes both the local Sardinops sagax catch and the imported frozen pilchards that now make up the majority of raw material — the 2016 Morocco and Thailand imports were processed here, and the 2025-26 cannery consolidation moved Amawandle staff to this plant.
