Mazzetta acquires Atwood Lobster
(UNITED STATES, 5/26/2011)
The parent company of Mazzetta Company, LLC, purveyor of premium Seamazz brand lobster, announced that it has purchased Atwood Lobster Company, located on Spruce Head Island, Maine.
Mazzetta has been involved in the Maine lobster fishery for four years.
Last year, the company purchased over five million pounds of Maine lobster and processed more than two million pounds in the state.
Earlier in 2010, its parent company established the Beach Point Processing Company located on Price Edward Island (PEI), Canada, a strategically central location to access lobster, snow crab, and pelagic species.
According to Mazzetta, the opening of the facility proved valuable in terms of integration and it provided them with the ability to support product development.
The purchase of Atwood Lobster Company is viewed as "a critical piece" to be further integrated in the Maine lobster industry, increase their volume and storage potential, and solidify their ability to assure supply to customers.
“There is no question as to the rich history of Maine lobster. We are extremely excited to dedicate all our efforts to this fishery with the addition of Atwood Lobster Company.“
Mazzetta explains that his friendship with Bill Atwood began several years ago, when the company initially became involved with Maine lobster.
"The history of Atwood Lobster Company is not unlike that of Mazzetta Company; a family business that had the good fortune to grow into an industry leader, while still maintaining the principles and values that originally guided them as a small business," he added.
Mazzetta Company is a seafood company involved in 19 countries around the globe and states they “will continue exploring additional opportunities within Maine”.
