Leading frozen seafood company High Liner Foods has announced a major acquisition that strengthens its position in the U.S. market.
High Liner Foods has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Mrs. Paul’s and Van de Kamp’s—two of the most recognized breaded and battered seafood brands in the United States—from Conagra Brands for $55 million USD.
This strategic acquisition will expand High Liner’s portfolio of market-leading frozen seafood products and reinforce its commitment to growth in North America. The company noted that both Mrs. Paul’s and Van de Kamp’s are “welcome additions,” bringing strong brand equity and a loyal consumer base to the High Liner family.
“This acquisition aligns perfectly with our long-term growth strategy and enhances our ability to serve consumers with trusted, high-quality seafood offerings,” said a spokesperson from High Liner Foods. The transaction is expected to close following customary regulatory approvals and closing conditions.
With this move, High Liner Foods continues to build on its legacy of delivering convenient, great-tasting seafood solutions to households across North America.
