The first of our new quarterly reports on mergers and acquisitions (M&A) shows the consolidation race in seafood is continuing at a breakneck pace.

“Seafood’s Top Dealmakers, Q1, 2019: Flying start for M&A set to continue throughout year”, shows 37 deals closed in Q1. That up 42% year-on-year, with many other deals put into motion and due to be finalized later in 2019.

Thirty-seven is the highest Q1 deal level seen going back to 2015 when Undercurrent News started tracking M&A in the sector. It’s also the second highest seen in any quarter in the period, exceeded only by 43 in Q4 of 2018.

The Q1 report contains profiles and contact details for industry and private equity consolidators who did deals in the quarter. In total, 19 industry consolidators are featured and 11 private equities. Eight advisory firms involved in deals during Q1 are also profiled.

You can click here to buy the Q1 report as a one-off purchase. However, the report is part of a series and you get an update after every quarter. So, if you are interested in making a saving by purchasing a series of four quarterly reports and/or the upcoming Seafood Dealmakers’ Database, which will be available soon, please get in touch with our sales team here. 

The Q1 report contains:

• An intro going over the M&A dynamics in Q1 and previewing what the rest of the year could bring, supported with data, charts and tables
• Profiles and contact details for the 19 industry consolidators and 11 private equities/financial firms that did deals in the quarter
