History[edit | edit source]
Aker BioMarine was established in 2006 as a subsidiary of the Aker Group. The company's initial focus was on the development of krill oil for use in nutritional supplements. Over time, the company has expanded its product range to include other krill-based products, such as krill meal and krill protein.
Sustainable Harvesting[edit | edit source]
Aker BioMarine is committed to sustainable harvesting practices. The company uses a proprietary technology known as Eco-Harvesting, which minimizes by-catch and ensures that the krill are alive and fresh when they are processed. This technology has been recognized by the Marine Stewardship Council for its sustainability.
