BOSTON, Massachusetts, US — There’s a lot of factors in the seafood sector right now that would suggest the pace of mergers and acquisitions (M&A) is destined to heat up soon.
But for all of the talk, the pace of US seafood dealmaking slowed in 2017, at least for ‘announced’ deals, according to a recent presentation made by bankers and deal advisors speaking at an M&A panel at the Boston seafood show.
March 16, 2018 – Antarctica Advisors LLC, the leading Seafood Industry-focused M&A advisory firm, acted as the exclusive investment banking advisor to Mitsui & Co (U.S.A.) in a strategic partnership transaction with Mark Foods, a New York-based importer and marketer of quality seafood products to high-end retailers, distributors, and restaurant groups in the U.S.
Mitsui & Co (U.S.A.) is the U.S. subsidiary of Mitsui & Co Ltd, one of the largest general trading companies in Japan and publicly traded on the Tokyo Stock Exchange with $100 billion dollars in total assets. The group owns considerable seafood resources worldwide, including shrimp farming operations in Asia and salmon farming operations in South America.
