Vestmannaeyjar-based Vinnslustaðirinn hf (VSV) has announced its intention to acquire fellow Icelandic companies Ós ehf and Leo Seafood ehf from the owner of the two firms, Sigurjón Óskarsson and his family.
Confirming the move in a press release, VSV stated, “The board of Vinnslustaðirinn hf and the shareholders in Ós ehf and Leo Seafood ehf have signed a letter of intent regarding the purchase of the processing centre’s entire share capital in the two companies.”
According to the press release, the letter of intent “contains reservations about certain issues”, but if the purchase goes ahead, it is expected that the relevant contracts will be signed in 2023.
Ós owns and operates fishing vessel Þórunna Sveinsdóttir VE-401, while Leo Seafood operates a fish processing plant that mainly exports seafood products to European and North American markets.
