March 14, 2017 — Channel Fish Processing Co. plans to sell its plants in Boston and Gloucester, Massachusetts.
The family-owned US company aims to transfer all capacity to the facility it acquired from US Foods on Monday, which is located 13 miles outside its Boston headquarters in Braintree, Massachusetts.
“We were getting close to capacity at our other facilities, so we needed somewhere to expand into,” national sales manager Steve Atkinson told Undercurrent News.
Founded in 1964, Channel Fish buys from New England boats and imports from Canada, Iceland, Norway and Chile. It freezes certain items like haddock, cod, pollock and scallops but also sells fresh and farmed products. It processes for a variety of preparations, including breaded products and fillets.
