According to the company’s latest Annual Report, 2015 was considered a historic year for Aker BioMarine, the leading supplier of krill-derived products to the consumer health and wellness and animal nutrition markets.
Aker BioMarine generated USD 105 million in revenue in 2015, which yielded an EBITDA of USD 25.7 million. QRILL™ Aqua, the Antarctic krill meal used in feeds for shrimp, marine fish and salmonids grew in revenues from USD 39.2 million in 2014 to USD 44.9 million in 2015. Since 2012, QRILL™ Aqua revenues have grown by 105 percent.
“The reason for this growth is the proven benefits the product brings for the farmers. In 2015, we further strengthened the documentation demonstrating the benefits provided by these krill products. Throughout the year, we documented exciting, valuable QRILL™ Aqua benefits that improve salmon quality parameters, such improved fillet quality, improved fat distribution and higher yield,” says Sigve Nordrum, EVP QRILL™ Sales.
