Graintec A/S and ImpactMarine have entered into a strategic cooperation agreement to accelerate the development of ImpactMarine’s pipeline of controlled environment aquaculture businesses and to expand the deployment of Graintec’s sophisticated RAS (Recirculating Aquaculture Systems) technology into new markets.
ImpactMarine is developing a portfolio of controlled-environment aquaculture facilities using RAS technology to produce a variety of species in important, but distinct markets. The business is currently actively developing sites in the eastern Mediterranean, Oceania and Southern Africa.

“The strategic cooperation agreement with Graintec is an important step in the development of ImpactMarine. Having a long-term agreement with Graintec provides ImpactMarine with access to industry leading expertise in RAS and will also ensure that we are able not only to deliver our immediate plans but also that both we and Graintec are seen as leaders of the blue revolution over the coming years.”
