Japanese giant Nippon Suisan Kaisha (Nissui), through its European subsidiary Nissui Europe, has acquired a 75 percent stake in UK seafood processor Flatfish for an undisclosed amount.

Flatfish is a primary processor supplying both the retail and foodservice sectors in the United Kingdom.

The acquisition fits with Nissui’s strategy to strengthen its seafood supply chain in the United Kingdom following its acquisition of Sealord Caistor in 2017.

Through this acquisition, Nissui will further enhance synergies within its European operations, the company said.
