Nippon Suisan Kaisha (Nissui)-owned UK processor and trader Flatfish said it expects the financial muscle of its parent group to help it get through the worst of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Japanese seafood giant Nissui acquired a 75 percent stake in Flatfish for an undisclosed amount in May 2019.

So far the pandemic has had little financial impact on Flatfish, which should be able to remain open in the face of further lockdowns, the company said as its 2019 financial results were published by UK Companies House.
