"I’d like to thank the outgoing CEO, Eduardo Carbajosa, and the Caslow Family for building a strategically networked global business with an incredible team behind it," said Snyder. "Over the past six months, I’ve worked closely with our leadership team to position Acme for growth and operational excellence.

"2026 will be a year of value realization, as we leverage recent investments in technology, people, and infrastructure to navigate a fast-changing marketplace. I’m honored to take the helm at this important moment in Acme’s long history."

Carbajosa joined Acme in 2007 as chief financial officer and went on to serve as president and CEO. During his tenure, he helped strengthen the company’s financial foundation, expand its production footprint and guide transformative growth across the US and international markets.

“We are incredibly grateful to Eduardo for his leadership and his deep commitment to Acme’s mission,” said David Caslow, chairman and member of Acme’s founding family. “He leaves behind a remarkable legacy, and we thank him for his many contributions. As we look to the future, Rob’s values-driven leadership, operational expertise, and passion for our people and products make him the ideal person to guide Acme into its next chapter.”

Snyder’s appointment marks the start of a new phase of investment, innovation and long-term growth as Acme continues to strengthen its global position in ready-to-eat seafood.
