French seafood supplier Labeyrie Fine Foods is looking to sell its sushi factory in Boulogne-sur-Mer, France, by the end of the year, with French fishing group Sofipeche reportedly interested in purchasing the facility, according to local media reports.
"We have been looking for solutions for a long time," said Laurent Lasquibar, industrial director of seafood and local products for the Labeyrie Fine Foods group, according to a report in PDM Produits de la Mer.
Under its Delpierre subsidiary, Labeyrie launched the factory in 2011 to meet the booming sushi wave sweeping the French market at the time.
