About Aker BioMarine
Aker BioMarine is a biotech innovator and Antarctic krill-harvesting company on a mission to improve human and planetary health. We are the world’s leading supplier of krill - a natural, powerful, and health-promoting source of nutrients from Antarctica.
Aker BioMarine was established in 2006 as part of the Aker Group, building on years of deep-sea fishing experience. And now, a decade later, our business continues to grow because we take care of the ecosystem we harvest in. We won the Investment in the future award in 2012 for our work and investment in the krill industry, investing more than 550 million in building a sustainable krill harvesting pipeline in the Antarctic.
We own our entire value chain from harvesting to production and sales, and our supply chain stretches from krill harvesting in Antarctic waters through the logistics hub in Montevideo to our krill oil manufacturing facility in Houston.
