High Liner owns three plants: Lunenburg, NS (50 million lb annual capacity) and Portsmouth, NH and Newport News, VA (61 million lb each), all producing value-added seafood distributed across North America. A Canada-only split is not disclosed, so this uses the company's total North American capacity by plant as a proxy; Lunenburg accounts for roughly 29% of it.

The 2025 AIF gives regular full and part-time employee counts by country: 651 in the U.S., 536 in Canada, and 19 across China, Thailand and Iceland combined, out of 1,206 total. Registered head office is Lunenburg, NS, but the majority of staff work in the United States.

In 2025 High Liner procured about 24 species from 16 countries: pollock (22.0%), cod (18.5%), shrimp (16.7%), haddock (14.8%), salmon (13.6%) and tilapia (9.0%) were the largest. The company runs procurement offices in Qingdao, Bangkok and Reykjavik and agents in Chile, India, Indonesia and Vietnam, pointing to pollock largely from Alaska (US), shrimp and tilapia mostly farmed in Asia (OTHER), and cod and haddock partly from Iceland/Norway (EU), with only a minor named Canadian share; no per-country dollar split is published, so this mix is an estimate.
