European Seafood Processing and Distribution Business for Sale

This listing presents a significant opportunity to acquire a well-established, family-operated seafood processing and distribution business located in Portugal, Europe. With over 20 years of operational expertise, the company has become a leading producer and distributor of salt cod, offering a diverse product range including whole, cut, and frozen cod. A state-of-the-art facility launched in May 2020 enhances its capabilities in the growing soaked and deep-frozen salt cod segment. The business operates under four reputable brands, recognized for consistent quality maintained through rigorous control standards. Sustainability is a core value, evidenced by Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) certification and a commitment to responsible sourcing. Strategic partnerships, including one with a major Norwegian cod supplier, bolster product quality and profit margins. The company has demonstrated robust growth, achieving a 16.7% sales CAGR between 2020 and 2022, surpassing pre-pandemic levels. In 2022, revenues exceeded $150 million, positioning it as the second-largest domestic cod processor. The owner is seeking to divest a majority stake, with potential for current management participation. The industrial facilities, spanning approximately 45,200 sq ft, are also available for acquisition separately. This is a rare chance to invest in a market leader with a strong growth trajectory and secure supply chains.
