Our Roots in Oyster Farming<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Founded in 1988 by Garry Seidl, his brother Andre, and sister-in-law Wendy, West-Eyre Shellfish has grown from a 10-hectare site near Ceduna to 40 hectares in Denial Bay and the Nuyts Archipelago, producing Pacific Oysters for domestic, export, and on-grown stock markets. Frustrated by the high cost and environmental impact of broken oyster baskets, the family designed the Hexcyl Oyster Basket, creating a robust, durable solution that delivers up to 40% more productivity, improved stock quality, and reduced operating costs, cementing their reputation as innovators and pioneers in South Australian oyster farming.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Driven by a desire to improve productivity and durability, the Seidl family assembled a committed team of industrial designers, tool makers and moulders culminating in the design and manufacture of the world leading Hexcyl shellfish basket design.<\/p>

Hexcyl transformed oyster farming by providing a stronger, longer-lasting, and environmentally responsible solution that farmers can rely on.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
