Dutch fishing firm Parlevliet & Van der Plas (P&P), with annual sales of around $1 billion, diversified its activities in the past few years.

Almost exactly three years ago, the group snapped up bankrupt shrimp supplier Heiploeg, which according to CEO Diek Parlevliet was a perfect fit to P&P's operations.
