Kodiak, Alaska-based longline fishing company Alaskan Leader Fisheries has formed a partnership with Copper River Seafoods, the state’s largest food manufacturing and marketing firm, according to statements from both companies.
The partnership allows Copper River to market Alaskan Leader cod. "This partnership is a win for both companies,” said Nick Delaney, managing director of Alaskan Leader. “Copper River Seafoods gains access to the highest-quality hook-and-line caught Alaskan cod supply they need to meet customer demand and our company benefits from their strong customer relationships and domestic marketing expertise."
“Our partnership with Alaskan Leader Fisheries enables Copper River Seafoods to offer our customers the highest-quality whitefish along with our world-famous salmon on a year-round basis in quantities that will support high-volume programs," said Scott Blake, president and CEO at Copper River.
