Chicago, IL – The Plitt Seafood parent company today announced a joint venture with Cleveland-based Euro USA, an importer and distributor of specialty foods, seafood, Pat LaFrieda meats, and wines to the Midwest and Mid Atlantic United States.
Euro USA has been looking towards expanding into the Chicago market, and Plitt Seafood has been working to streamline services to their customers in the Midwest.
Plitt will continue its daily service to restaurants and businesses in its distribution areas under the Plitt Seafood brand. The alliance enables them to offer Euro USA’s products to their customers in addition to the fresh and frozen seafood they currently provide. “By working with Euro USA, we’re gaining many years of expertise in the specialty food and meat industries, while maintaining our seafood identity,” stated John Livaditis, Plitt Seafood’s Chief Executive Officer. “Our focus continues to be on bringing the best quality seafood to our customers. In aligning Plitt with Euro USA, we can offer them a wider range of products, and while keeping our focus on premium fish and customer service.”
Additionally, sustainability is a main concern for both Plitt Seafood and Euro USA. According to NESP, the alliance provides both companies an opportunity to expand business, while minimizing their carbon footprint. “Working together will allow us to remain as environmentally friendly as possible as we continue to expand our distribution area,” commented Duff O’Donnell, President and Chief Executive Officer of Euro USA. “Both Plitt and Euro understand the importance of sustainability in our markets. This joint venture allows both companies to keep that focus while making smart business moves.”
Euro USA was founded in 1986 as an importer and distributor of premium specialty foods from throughout Europe, later expanding to seafood, wines and Pat LaFrieda meats. Currently, their inventory includes a variety of 6000 specialty products. The company’s existing distribution region ranges from the Midwest to the Mid Atlantic with offices in Cleveland, Ohio and Sterling, Virginia.

Then we tried a few of the varieties of the products offered by the Montreal based brand that makes fresh artisanal all natural vegetarian or vegan pestos, tapenades and aromatic sauces; we were wowed.
