Since December 2015 INVE Aquaculture has become pa...
The healthy growth of fish and shrimp, the growth of our clients’ local businesses and the growth of global aquaculture as a whole. We support hatcheries and farms worldwide with concepts, best practices and technologies that improve their bottom line.
Innovation has always played a key role in our company. Substantial resources are allocated every year to develop new specialty products and to further optimize our existing portfolio. To maintain our global image as prime innovators in aquaculture, we rely on a skilled team of more than 35 researchers and staff based in our Innovation headquarters in Belgium and in our 2 testing centers in Italy and Thailand.
To guarantee our products work under commercial conditions, our test centers run real-life hatchery production cycles for fish and shrimp. A close link to the Innovation Centers of the Benchmark Group allows us to develop holistic solutions for the balanced growth of cultured species. Collaboration with key researchers and institutions, customers and partners worldwide continuously drive successful innovation.
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 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.
INVE Tropical Aquaculture Research Center (ITARC, formerly known as SCRD) is our testing center in Asia, located South- East of Bangkok (Thailand). The site used to be a commercial shrimp hatchery and is now adjusted to facilitate shrimp (larvae) culture trials. Both centers are also used for demonstrations of our products and protocols to customers. We also have test facilities for ongrowing trials with shrimp and tilapia.
To ensure consistent product quality and total control over the production process, we operate fully owned production facilities in the USA, China and Thailand. Our largest production facility houses all process technologies required for manufacturing our specialized feed and health products. Through our relentless drive for improvement we can deliver the highest quality products at the best possible cost to our customers globally.
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.
