Thai Union is a global seafood supplier of lobster, shrimp, sardines, mackerel, tuna, salmon and crab under the Chicken of the Sea, King Oscar, John West and Petit Navire brands.

The redesigned packaging will divide Gorton’s extensive offerings of frozen prepared seafood products.

Blue Harvest entered the scallop processing and distribution business in August via the acquisition of Hygrade Ocean Products, Inc.

The $70 million investment will replace an existing 28-year-old clam vessel with a state-of-the-art factory vessel designed to deliver significant productivity and efficiency improvements through a more efficient harvesting platform.

Development of the 19-acre site will include the relocation and enhancement of the seasonal wetlands discovered on site.

By virtue of the acquisition, Blue Harvest will begin marketing and distributing company-landed scallops, bluefin tuna and swordfish directly to customers.

The facility will utilize the latest in construction technologies and is said to be the most technologically advanced, energy efficient and environmentally friendly seafood processing facility in Massachusetts.

According to this survey, sustainability rated higher than price and brand.

The demand for seafood continues to increase globally.
