Graintec, a technology supplier for the aquaculture industry, and ImpactMarine, have entered into a deal to establish and construct a number of land-based aquaculture facilities.
The agreement between two companies is to help facilitate the development of ImpactMarine's aquaculture businesses and enable the installation of Graintec's RAS technology into new markets, Graintec explained in a press release.
They are planning on delivering a minimum of four facilities, as Graintec will be provided access to new markets for their RAS technology and ImpactMarine will have access to design resources for any future projects.

CEO of Graintec, Michael Mortensen, said of the agreement: "We are very excited to partner with ImpactMarine. They have an ambitious plan and a business model with a fantastic ESG (Environmental, Social & Governance) proposition. The strategic cooperation provides a strong foundation for us to deliver on our commitment to developed reliable and sustainable farming solutions to support the production of better fish for more people."
Echoing his sentiments, the CEO of ImpactMarine David Hampton remarked: "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."
ImpactMarine is developing a number of controlled environment aquaculture facilities utilising its RAS technology, and has sites established in eastern Mediterranean, Oceania and Southern Africa. Graintec as a supplier of aquaculture technology, has been involved in the design of aquafeed factories for over two decades, having celebrated its thirty-year presence in the aquaculture industry in 2015.
Graintec signed an agreement with SalmoTerra back in November, to supply them with their first land-based fish farm for the primary species that they farm, Atlantic Salmon. You can read more about that, HERE.
