Bornstein Seafoods, under the leadership of President and CEO Colin Bornstein, has announced the consolidation of its Bellingham and Newport facilities into existing operations in Oregon. This strategic move aims to optimize operational capacity in Astoria. While acknowledging the impact on employees, Bornstein pledges support during the transition, offering job fair opportunities and resources. The Bellingham plant processed a variety of seafood, including halibut and salmon. Bornstein expresses gratitude to the communities and reaffirms commitment to a successful future. The company's recent closures include its Bellingham groundfish operations in 2019 and a fire-related loss of its Ilwaco facility in February 2024. Bornstein Seafoods, founded in 1934, continues its legacy under the leadership of Jay Bornstein's sons, Kyle, Colin, and Andrew.
