ACT Capital Advisors, a mergers and acquisitions specialist, has announced the launch of its Seafood Sector Advisory Practice, designed to offer specialized strategic advice and transaction expertise to global seafood producers, processors, and distributors. This new practice is part of ACT’s Seafood and Agribusiness industry group, which supports food producers and processors throughout the growing, harvesting, processing, and distribution value chain.
Leading this initiative are industry veterans Matt Latimer and Brad Bodenman, who bring decades of experience in seafood harvesting, processing, and aquaculture. Both have previously worked with American Seafoods Group, the world's largest at-sea harvester and processor of wild-caught whitefish, and a significant secondary processor of whitefish, scallops, and catfish.
The Seafood Sector Advisory Practice will focus on providing advisory services related to mergers and acquisitions, capital formation, strategic partnerships and joint ventures, debt financings, and restructurings.
“I am thrilled that Matt and Brad are leading this exciting initiative to serve the seafood industry,” said Bob Hild, ACT’s chief executive, in a press release.
“Seafood is growing in importance as food security and sustainability become paramount. Industry leaders deserve sophisticated advisors who understand the dynamic environments in which they operate,” he added.
ACT Capital aims to provide solutions across the seafood value chain, from small harvesting and processing operations to multinational producers with advanced logistics and distribution networks.
“We believe seafood companies benefit from high-quality strategic and financial advisory services,” stated Bodenman.
“We bring our deep understanding of the industry's complex commercial, regulatory, and financial environments to help them sustainably feed the world,” added Latimer.
