Between 1990 and 2000, Phillips Foods opened ten overseas processing facilities. Eventually, nearly all of the company's raw product came from Asia and South America. The expansion made the company the largest producer of blue swimming crabmeat in the world, providing an abundant supply of product that would be needed during the decade, as Phillips Foods began to record an unprecedented, exponential rate of growth. The spark that ignited the company's growth was its foray into the retail business, a move made possible by its innovative work in developing a way to pasteurize fresh crabmeat and quick-freeze it, enabling the company's signature crab cakes to retain their freshness, consistency, and taste for up to a year. For the first time, the company could entertain the idea of shipping its seafood products great distances, something it began to do when it entered the retail business in 1996. The company relied on a sales force comprising chefs and managers from its restaurants to promote Phillips Foods' seafood products to a national audience.
