Scottish smoked salmon producer Associated Seafoods Ltd (ASL) is acquiring fellow seafood processor R. R. Spink & Sons (Arbroath) Ltd, which was previously part of the Dawnfresh Group.
The acquisition will provide a platform for growth for the processing plant and its 249 employees, said ASL.
The R. R. Spink & Sons facility will operate alongside ASL’s Buckie processing facility, which employs 300 staff, creating a business with a combined turnover of roughly £85 million (€101.8 million/$113.9 million).
The Arbroath facility produces a wide range of smoked and value-added fish products for a broad customer base, including high-end retailer Marks & Spencer.
