Angulas Aguinaga acquired Spanish octopus producer and distributor Viveros Merimar as part of its 2020 strategic plan, the company said.

With the acquisition the company expects to increase turnover to €200 million ($233.7 million).

Angulas Aguinaga, which sells seafood and surimi products under the La Gula, Krissia and Aguinamar brands, acquired the octopus producer, which owns the brands Meripul and Merimar.

"We are delighted to be adding Viveros Merimar to our family, not just for its leading position in the octopus sector, but also because together we can grow faster in an increasing sector, both nationally and internationally," said Ignacio Munoz, CEO of Angulas Aguinaga.
