Good Harbor Fillet, a homegrown, value-added, fish processor-distributor operating in a 67,000 square foot plant in Blackburn Industrial Park, has been acquired for integration into American Seafoods, a privately held conglomerate, that describes itself as "one of the largest integrated seafood companies in the U.S. in terms of revenues."
The acquisition of Good Harbor Fillet from Creo Capital Partners LLC — which pulled Good Harbor out of bankruptcy in 2006, investing $8 million in the settlement — was announced late Monday from American Seafoods Group headquarters in Seattle. No terms or figures were announced, and officials said no decisions have been made as to how the deal will affect jobs or operations at the Gloucester facility.
The acquisition was predicated on integrating Good Harbor with American Pride Seafoods, a New Bedford company owned by the conglomerate, which like Good Harbor, owns a value a added processing facility and cold storage warehouse as well as a scallop processing plant.
