Aller Aqua to expand production capacity in Egypt
Aller Aqua Group A/S is seeking to be Egypt's largest fish feed manufacturer with the expansion of its production capacity in the country.
In 2011, Aller AquaGroup, in cooperation with IFU (Investment Fund for Developing Countries), bought the majority of an Egyptian owned family company. It is presently making a heavy investment in tripling the factory's existing capacity.
A new facility will be built in 2013 and positioned next to the existing factory.
"During 2012, we have optimised the existing factory as much as possible. We have been well received by the Egyptian fish farmers, who we have been able to help and support with our knowledge and products, so they can optimise productivity and improve the environment", said Henrik Halken, Chairman of Aller Aqua Egypt.
"The momentum we have created in Egypt now forms the base for the expansion," he added.
