Ongoing global logistics disruptions played a key role in Scotland-based Thistle Seafoods' acquisition this week of Dawnfresh Seafoods' 100,000-square-foot processing plant.

Thistle Seafoods, which on Monday announced the acquisition of processing facilities belonging to bankrupt Glasgow, Scotland-based Dawnfresh, noted one of the key rationales for the deal was the target’s location.

The Dawnfresh facility is located near a main highway that provides distribution access across the rest of the UK, and it is also situated in close proximity to two main Scottish sea ports.
