High Liner Foods, Canada, acquired the principal assets and operations of American Pride Seafoods LLC from Seattle-based American Seafoods Group LLC.
American Pride is primarily a value-added frozen seafood foodservice and scallop processing business based in New Bedford, Mass. The acquisition is expected to bolster High Liner Foods' market leadership position in the foodservice segment of the U.S. value-added frozen seafood industry, and also results in the company adding significant U.S.-based scallop processing operations to its business portfolio.
