PSPA Announces New Member, Pacific Seafood Group

Juneau, Alaska (June 26, 2025) - The Pacific Seafood Processors Association (PSPA) announces and welcomes a new member company, Pacific Seafood Group. Founded in 1914, PSPA is a seafood processing trade group. PSPA has eleven members representing major seafood processing companies with operations in Alaska and Washington, including 47 shore-based and 3 floating facilities in 22 coastal communities in Alaska. These companies purchase fish from thousands of independent commercial fishermen, have billions of dollars invested in shoreside and floating processing facilities to service these fleets, and employ tens of thousands of people to get seafood to consumers around the world.

"PSPA is excited to welcome Pacific Seafood Group as a new member. The alignment of Pacific Seafood with our existing membership is excellent; we all value the importance of the seafood processing sector to fishermen, communities and the state, which is why our member companies make long-term investment decisions in the communities in which they operate, and why sustainable fisheries are so important to PSPA members," says Julie Decker, President, PSPA.

Pacific Seafood was founded in 1941 and has grown to employ more than 3,000 team members across 41 facilities in 11 states. Still family owned, Pacific Seafood manages all parts of the supply chain from harvesting to processing, and distribution, in order to provide customers with excellent seafood products.

"We're proud to join the Pacific Seafood Processors Association as we deepen our commitment to Alaska's seafood industry," says Ashton Meier, Vice President of Processing at Pacific Seafood. "Through our recent Kodiak expansion, we're investing in local communities, supporting sustainable fisheries, and delivering high-quality, wild-caught products. We look forward to working with PSPA and fellow members to advance the value, visibility, and vitality of Alaska seafood."
