OUR
RESEARCH
CENTERS
At our facilities in Belgium, nutrition and health engineers specialized in Artemia, larval fish, larval shrimp, microbiology, immunology, aquatic diseases and diet processing technology are coordinating research projects using state-of-the-art analytical labs, small-scale test facilities and pilot-scale feed processing equipment.
INVE Aquaculture Research Center (IARC, formerly known as MRS) is our research and testing center for Artemia and marine fish located in Tuscany, Italy. It has capacity for running trials in replicate smaller tanks as well as in commercial-scale facilities. The team runs tests on new feed trials, optimized protocols and novel techniques for optimized live feed production (algae, rotifers, artemia). The aim is always to get results that can improve the production of commercial species.
WE PRODUCE
Although our distribution network is set up to directly serve all major aquaculture markets, we have deliberately chosen to build our biggest production facility in Phichit, Thailand to stay in touch with the major and fastest growing markets in aquaculture. The fact that we own and manage our own facilities guarantees complete control of the entire process and allows for a flawless quality control.
Just like in hatchery or farm operations, advanced knowhow and strict operational discipline are key to delivering a flawless product. Our processes are rigorously applied and monitored to guarantee food safety and compliance with all modern quality standards.
Through an ethos of continuous improvement and quality control protocols, we integrate environmental thinking at every level of our operations. We are committed to ensuring that our activities do not compromise the health of our planet.
WE IMPLEMENT
Aquaculture being a people’s business, a skilled and motivated workforce is key to our success. An advanced strategy management approach empowers our people to align their activities with the overall strategy and focus on it’s most important projects.
