Cooke completed the acquisition of Marubel from Bencis Capital.

Cooke, an aquaculture company, completed the acquisition of Marubel, a shrimp processor in Western Europe that cultivates, processes, packs and distributes shrimp and other seafood products, from Bencis Capital, an investment company. Financial terms were not disclosed. “Team Cooke had a strong presence this spring in Barcelona at Seafood Expo Global/Seafood Processing Global, the world’s largest seafood trade fair. The Morubel team welcomes the sale to Cooke – we’ve found an ideal alignment to enable our future growth. We see a lot of opportunities to expand our product line to sell additional Cooke products in European countries where Cooke is building its presence,” Dirk De Pandelaere, Morubel CEO.
