American Seafoods is poised to capitalize on the global seafood industry’s growing demand for high-quality products.
American Seafoods Reaffirms Focus on Business and Growth Prospects
(UNITED STATES, 7/8/2024)
American Seafoods Group, a global leader in sustainable proteins and one of the world’s largest at-sea processors of wild Alaska pollock and wild Pacific hake, announced today that the company has paused its sale process.
“We have paused our sales process, so we can continue to focus on our business and customers,” said Einar Gustafsson, CEO of American Seafoods.
American Seafoods operates a fleet of seven fishing vessels in the sustainable fisheries of the Bering Sea and the North Pacific Ocean.
“Our business remains strong, and we look forward to revisiting these discussions when the macroeconomic environment improves and when our valuation is consistent with the strength of our company. With strong growth prospects ahead, American Seafoods is excited to remove this overhang and refocus ourselves on our day-to-day operations. Our company is poised to capitalize on the global seafood industry’s growing demand for high-quality products, and now we can get back to fully concentrating on running the greatest fishing company in the world.”
American Seafoods is the world’s largest at-sea processor of Wild Alaska Pollock and hold the largest allocation of Wild Pacific Hake.
Bregal Partners, a current shareholder of American Seafoods, previously announced in 2023 their intent to pursue the realization of their interests in all companies in the Bregal Partners I portfolio, which included American Seafoods. With American Seafoods’ decision to pause its sales process, the company will remain in the portfolio.
American Seafoods' unique capacity, along with control over a worldwide distribution network, affords unprecedented opportunities for the delivery of higher-quality seafoods to operators virtually year-round.
