Nippon Suisan (JP3718800000) was last at JPY 1,106.5 on the Tokyo Stock Exchange on October 7, 2026, after the seafood group acquired Netherlands-based Maxima Seafood. The deal adds a concrete expansion move to a company whose first-quarter revenue had already risen 14.1 percent year over year.

Maxima expands European seafood reach

SeafoodNews reported on October 7, 2026, that Nissui had acquired Maxima Seafood, a Netherlands-based company. The report said Maxima had disclosed that it was joining the Nissui group, while further transaction details were due to follow.

The transaction fits Nissui's stated effort to extend food solutions beyond fisheries and connect marine resources with consumers worldwide, but the published account did not give a purchase price or earnings contribution.

Q1 revenue rises 14.1 percent

According to Nissui, fiscal first-quarter revenue for the period ended June 30, 2026, reached JPY 257.283 billion. Operating profit rose 20.95 percent to JPY 12.435 billion, while quarterly net income attributable to owners of the parent increased 14.31 percent to JPY 7.439 billion.

The revenue increase was broader than the profit increase in absolute terms, but the operating result grew faster than sales. That combination gives the Maxima deal a financial backdrop of expanding activity and improving operating leverage, rather than a standalone acquisition story.
