Mark Foods acquires Endeavor Seafood
Mark Foods fully integrates the Endeavor Seafood business into its operations.
Global seafood company Mark Foods has acquired Endeavor Seafood, a Newport, R.I.-based importer and marketer of frozen seafood products. This acquisition is the next step in a partnership between Mark Foods and Endeavor Seafood, a relationship that was formalized with Mark Foods' equity investment in Endeavor in 2021. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
With this acquisition, Mark Foods will fully integrate the Endeavor Seafood business into its operations. Mark Foods said it is proud to add these individuals to its team and to continue to expand its seafood offerings.
Endeavor Seafood was established in 2001 by Mike Bush, Todd Clark and George Souza, three long-time seafood supply chain professionals. Having held senior seafood sourcing positions with some of the top food companies in the country, the founders of Endeavor have a strong understanding of the needs of its customers, such as strict product specification compliance, continuity of supply, sustainability and on-time deliveries.
Bush and Clark will continue with Mark Foods, bringing their expertise and relationships to the combined organization. Souza's planned retirement coincides with the transaction. However, he has agreed to continue serving Mark Foods in an advisory capacity.
"We are pleased to welcome the Endeavor Seafood team to Mark Foods. Since our initial investment in 2021, we have seen firsthand the talent, dedication, and quality this team brings. Fully integrating the business was a natural next step that will allow Mark Foods to better serve our customers and continue to expand our seafood offerings," said Barry Markman, CEO at Mark Foods.
This acquisition is the latest in a series of strategic investments undertaken by Mark Foods over the last several years as the company has grown to become a global seafood supplier. These investments include Bristol Seafood in 2025, Arista Industries' Seafood Division in 2023 and Openwater Seafoods in 2021.
