Seajoy’s shrimp farms include processing plants, hatcheries and breeding programs.
Cooke Inc., a Canada-based division of Cooke Aquaculture Inc., acquired Seajoy Seafood Corp., a Miami, Fla.-based vertically integrated, premium shrimp farm.
“The acquisition of Seajoy is an important element in our focus on product diversification to meet our customers’ needs,” says Glenn Cooke, chief executive officer of Cooke Inc. “Seajoy is a world-leading shrimp producer utilizing the highest quality and food safety standards and newest available technology. This aligns perfectly with our existing aquaculture and wild seafood fishery divisions. We feel Seajoy’s entrepreneurial drive, industry knowledge and care for their communities has made them successful and a big reason why we feel this is an incredible cultural fit.”
