Trident Seafoods to continue operations at its Kodiak, Alaska Plant
through 'B' Season.
The move is part of the company's commitment to supporting fishermen and communities while
executing its strategic restructuring and modernization initiative.
Seattle, WA and Kodiak, AK — May 30, 2024 —Trident Seafoods has announced that its plant
in Kodiak, Alaska, will continue operating through 'B' Season, ensuring local fishermen have a
market for the season and surrounding businesses remain secure. The company will remain the
facility's operator while confidential sale negotiations continue.
"We know how important the Kodiak plant is to the community and the surrounding fisheries,"
said Jeff Welbourn, Senior Vice President of Alaska Operations. "We appreciate that this is an
uncertain time. The decision to continue operations through 'B' Season is tied directly to our
commitment to ensuring the plant remains an important economic contributor to Kodiak and the
surrounding community now and into the future."
Trident announced last year that it was seeking buyers for four of its Alaska shoreside plants as
part of a comprehensive, strategic restructuring and modernization initiative. In April 2024, the
company announced the sale of its Petersburg plant to E.C. Phillips & Son, and its Ketchikan
plant was purchased by Silver Bay Seafoods.
Negotiations with prospective buyers for the company's False Pass and Kodiak facilities remain
ongoing. As the largest and most complex plant, with year-round operations supporting multiple
species, the complexity of the operations makes the sale of the Kodiak plant a lengthier due
diligence process.
"We're currently in the middle of sale negotiations for Kodiak, a process covered by a non-
disclosure agreement," said Joe Bundrant, CEO of Trident Seafoods. "While we aren't able to
disclose more details at this time, we're confident about the plant's future, and we're looking
forward to sharing more details as soon as possible."
