A host of dignitaries attended, including Maine’s Commissioner of the Department of Economic and Community Development, Travis Kennedy, Senator King’s office, Representative Karen Vachon, Representative Heather Sirocci and many others.

Located at 350 Pine Point Road, the facility incudes a state of the art lobster holding area using tube storage of live lobster. John Ready explained that this site is the only facility of its kind in the state. The storage technique significantly extends the length of time that lobsters can be stored, allowing the company to weather the volatile changes in lobster pricing.

The company ships lobster all over the world – exporting represents nearly 75% of their revenues. To learn more about Ready Seafood, check out the video developed by the Maine International Trade center.
