Danish company inaugurates state of the art fish feed factory
(EGYPT, 3/2/2015)
Denmark-based fish feed producer Aller Aqua Group A/S is to officially inaugurate a new state of the art factory in Egypt on Tuesday 3 March.
In cooperation with IFU (Investment Fund for Developing Countries), the Danish company bought the majority of an Egyptian family company in 2011, and last year it finished the country's largest and most modern production of environmentally friendly, extruded fish feed.
Aller Aqua Egypt, as the Egyptian company is called, has invested in this connection a large sum of money in the area called ”6th of October City”, situated at an hour drive from Cairo.
“The momentum we have managed to create in Egypt since 2011 creates the basis for this extraordinary expansion, giving us the opportunity to triple sales,” explained Henrik Halken, Chairman of Aller Aqua Egypt.
The Danish firm believes in the market and in a bright future in this country, and says the growth during the last year strengthens this belief.
Aller Aqua has, since the beginning of fish feed production 50 years ago, experienced continuous growth. Besides the factory in Christiansfeld, Denmark, the company built a factory in Poland in 2001 and in Germany in 2007.
Hans Erik Bylling, a majority shareholder and managing director in the Aller Aqua Group, stressed that the company now sells its fish feed to more than 50 countries worldwide.
“We have a clear and concise strategy in Aller Aqua, designed to create further growth over the coming years – and investments like the one in Egypt is one of the tools to reach our targets, as well as the continued growth in existing and new markets," Bylling highlighted.
Besides, the director added: "2014 has been a busy year for us, as we have further inaugurated our new research center in Büsum, Germany. This helps bring us to the forefront in the development of new efficient types of feed – with increased focus on better utilisation of raw materials."
He also pointed out: "In addition we are proud to have been awarded a German innovation award for this particular effort."
"Aquaculture is today the fastest growing food sector – and more than half of the fish consumed globally are farmed fish. Thus we focus on growing our activities in several of the world’s emerging markets,” Bylling concluded.
