Seafood Connection, the European business of the world's largest seafood company by sales, has acquired the frozen food operation of Netherlands-based Anova Seafood. The move is part of Anova's strategy to refocus its efforts to the international distribution of fresh and premium seafood.
“We see a lot potential by adding Anova’s product portfolio to our current business and it will strengthen our position in sourcing, processing and sales of seafood products," said Jan Kaptijn, the CEO of Seafood Connection, in a statement. Seafood Connection is since 2013 a subsidiary of Japan's Maruha Nichiro, a global leader in the seafood industry. The multinational supplies among others wild-caught salmon, Atlantic salmon, octopus, king crab, squid, tuna, shrimp and Patagonian toothfish to clients around the world.
Seafood Connection is based in Urk, one of the traditional fishing towns in the Netherlands. The company imports, exports and distributes frozen fish products to retailers, wholesalers, food processors and distributors.
