Following last week’s sale to Steinasalir, Icelandic Group's former Belgian subsidiary Gadus will benefit from direct access to supply since the established company includes a number of fish producers and quota holders, according to the new owners.

Steinasalir was established specifically in order to buy Gadus and is comprised of Icelandic seafood companies, including Saemark Seafood, Fishproducts Iceland, and Akur, an Iceland-based private equity fund.

“It also includes around 10 fish producers and quota holders,” Sigurdur Gísli Björnsson, CEO of Saemark Seafood, told IntraFish.
