REUNIMER expands into Metropolitan France and strengthens its European value chain. Pêcheries des Hauts-de-France, Norsea, and Stargel join the Group

Boulogne-sur-Mer, Réunion Island, October 9, 2025

REUNIMER, a leading seafood company in the Indian Ocean, announces the acquisition of Pêcheries des Hauts-de-France, Norsea, and Stargel, three Boulogne-sur-Mer–based companies located in France’s foremost fishing port.

This transaction, completed on October 9, 2025, marks REUNIMER’s second acquisition since Hivest Capital invested in the Group in 2024. It represents a key milestone in building an integrated, sustainable, and international seafood platform.

Strengthening the value chain to support international growth

Through this acquisition, REUNIMER expands its reach across the seafood sector — from hook to plate — by incorporating fish trading and wholesale activities into its portfolio. The Group is now firmly established within Europe’s leading fishing hub.

The combination of REUNIMER’s Indian Ocean operations and the new French entities will generate strong industrial and commercial synergies, enhancing capabilities in sourcing, processing, and distribution.

For Pêcheries des Hauts-de-France, Norsea, and Stargel, joining REUNIMER provides access to international markets and the opportunity to showcase their expertise to a broader client base. Together, they aim to help build a competitive, responsible, and export-oriented French seafood industry.

Expert teams united by shared values

The existing management teams — Stéphane Level, Yannig Gomel, and Grégory Fulgueiras — will continue to lead their respective operations while becoming shareholders of the REUNIMER Group.

This partnership is founded on a shared conviction: sustainable value is created by the people in the industry, whose know-how, professionalism, and commitment form the foundation of long-term success.

The Boulogne-sur-Mer teams, widely recognized for their operational excellence and product expertise, are joining a Group that places responsibility, transparency, and sustainability at the core of its growth strategy.

Sébastien Camus, President of the REUNIMER Group: “We are delighted and proud to welcome these emblematic Boulogne-sur-Mer companies into REUNIMER — a historic stronghold of French fishing. This integration strengthens our value chain and creates a strategic bridge between the Indian Ocean and European markets. Together, we are building a virtuous model that combines operational excellence, respect for resources, and shared value creation. This is a major step toward our goal: offering consumers seafood products of verified origin, produced responsibly and to the highest standards of quality.”

Stéphane Level and Yannig Gomel, Managing Directors of Pêcheries des Hauts-de-France: “Joining the REUNIMER Group opens new avenues for growth and gives us a true international dimension. This alliance is rooted in shared values — respect for the product, dedication to quality, and the ambition to advance our professions within a responsible, high-performing industry. Together, we will create ambitious synergies to serve both the French and export markets.”
