Lobster crates are great for shipping large quantites of lobster. This option is typically used when shipping to distributers who have lobster tanks at their facility. Each crate can hold 90 lbs of live lobster. Styrofoam is built in around the top perimeter to allow the crates to float keeping the lobsters under water in a tank.
In 1920, Bill Atwood's grandfather, a lobster fisherman from Nova Scotia, moved his family to Boston where Bill's father soon started a wholesale lobster business on Atlantic Avenue. In 1962, Bill Atwood ventured out on his own and launched the Atwood Lobster Company.
In May of 2011, Atwood Lobster Company was purchased by Mazzetta Company, LLC based in Highland Park, IL. Mazzetta Company specializes in frozen seafood products, one of it's largest items being frozen lobster. By purchasing this wonderful facility on the coast of Maine, Mazzetta Company has moved into a position of complete vertical integration.
