Nathan Pyne-Carter, CEO at Ace Aquatec, says: 'Over the last year, we have taken the decision to grow Ace Aquatec's presence internationally by making our technology and research knowledge more accessible to fish farmers across the globe.
'We're continuing to see the growing demand for more productive, ethical and sustainable methods of fish farming, so expanding our team in North America was the next logical step in our strategy.'
Mr Bowman, Regional Manager, adds: 'We are a nation known for providing some of the world's best quality fish so it's great to be working alongside Ace Aquatec who have an extensive background in providing some of the best aquaculture technology in the world.
'Their ethical and sustainable approach is something to be welcomed by the North American market and I look forward to working alongside the team to grow their presence.'
