Chilean finance newspaper Estrategia reports Salmar CEO Yngve Myhre and several of his directors were in Chile’s capital Santiago a few weeks ago, fueling speculation it could be interested in acquiring Invermar.
IntraFish understands the Norwegians had talks with Chilean salmon producers.
According to the newspaper article there is talk of mergers or acquisitions; the paper gave special mention to representatives from the Montanari family that control Invermar – which is listed on Santiago Stock Exchange.
Ever since SalMar sold out of Bakkafrost, analysts have been wondering what the group will do with the money.
