US-based Lotus Seafood is moving into frozen value-added meal production as the company looks to capitalize on growing demand in the sector.
The frozen seafood and sushi specialist has set an annual production target of 60 million pounds of frozen meal products, and has invested $20 million (€16.7 million) on improvements and processing equipment in a newly leased facility.
Operations at the site, in Oceanside near San Diego, California are scheduled to start in June.
