“Europe is an important and growing market for seafood from Alaska and the Pacific Northwest,” said Chuck Bundrant, founder and chairman of Trident. “The opening of a European office will allow Trident to better communicate with and serve our European customers.”
The office will open June 1 in Lueneburg, Germany. Former Pickenpack and Pefisco executive Stephan Kleemeyer will manage the European office.
Trident’s European sales manager, Torunn Halhjem, will remain in Trident’s Seattle office and will oversee the new office.
Trident and Ocean Beauty Seafoods last week called off a proposed merger, ending what would have been one of the biggest U.S.
