Bankers and deal advisors at a Boston seafood show noted that while many factors should heat up seafood M&A, the pace of announced U.S. deals slowed in 2017 due to a valuation “disconnect” between buyers and sellers, so much talk failed to translate into completed transactionships
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.
