Mericq Group, one of France's largest seafood processors and suppliers, has joined forces with premium seafood wholesaler Maison Blanc, the companies said in a statement.
The tie-up between Mericq, owned by the Abadie family, and Maison Blanc, led by the Gillardeau family, will allow both companies to "offer a unique range of seafood products in France and internationally."
Mericq operates a range of seafood processing and supply facilities in Europe, specializing largely in shellfish such as European blue lobster, langoustine, shrimp, clams and mussels.
