Exporter goes fishing for M&As in a bid to boost overseas sales

Zhanjiang Guolian Aquatic Products Co Ltd, the country's largest prawn exporter, is seeking merger and acquisition opportunities overseas to boost its global presence.

"If there are appropriate opportunities we will go to great lengths to get the deal done," said Li Zhong, chairman of the company.

In 2012, Guolian purchased SSC in the United States and established its own brand and marketing channel.
