Cooke Seafood acquires Uruguay's largest seafood company
Cooke previously began to repair the Uruguayan fishing vessels, and anticipates a resumption of fishing operations early in 2017.
Cooke Seafood USA, Inc., Hyannis, Mass., formally acquired the assets of Fripur S.A., what is said to be Uruguay’s largest seafood company, effective Dec. 14.
The Fripur acquisition was completed through Perindes S.A., which is owned by the Cooke family.
