Cooke to acquire Slade Gorton.

Cooke, a fishing and farming company, agreed to acquire Slade Gorton, a distributor, importer, and manufacturer of fresh and frozen seafood. Financial terms were not disclosed. “Over nearly a century, Slade Gorton has built a robust and resilient world class supply chain in support of our family’s passion for making sustainable seafood accessible to everyone. As the world has evolved over the past several years, it became clear that to accelerate our mission and impact, it made sense to join forces with a diverse, vertically integrated company run by people who share our family values and vision for reshaping the consumer’s experience with seafood. There could be no better fit than Glenn Cooke and the incredible global company his team is building. We are excited to join forces with the Cooke family of companies to take the Gorton family’s legacy forward,” Kim Gorton, Slade Gorton CEO.
