Japanese seafood company Marubeni Corp. announced this week an agreement to acquire American seafood distributor Eastern Fish Co., the latest in a series of acquisitions over the past four years.
Eastern Fish is an established shrimp importer into the United States. Marubeni said buying Eastern Fish gives the Japanese seafood company an outlet for shrimp it produces or buys in Asia. The company anticipates the acquisition will increase Marubeni's sales of shrimp in Japan and American to JPY 50
