In a statement, the publicly-listed business said it had also completed the acquisition – announced in August – of US meat group Maid-Rite Specialty Foods.

“Both businesses are truly best-in-class in what they do and will perfectly complement our protein and seafood platforms, respectively,” Premium Brands Holdings president and CEO George Paleologou said.

The two transactions, struck for undisclosed sums, are not the first Premium Brands Holdings has made in 2021.

In August, it also announced the purchase of Quebec-based seafood group Mermax.
