Commenting on his appointment, Mr Brouwer says: 'I am really excited to be joining Veramaris at such a pivotal time for the aquaculture industry, when there is real potential to make a difference to the environmental issues that need to be addressed.
'Veramaris' sustainability value proposition, including its recent joint certification from ASC-MSC, gives retailers and the food service sector a viable solution for their seafood sustainability challenges and I am looking forward to working with our partners to help them achieve their sustainable seafood goals.
'Veramaris offers a game-changing solution and I am thrilled to be a part of the company as its growth accelerates.'
Veramaris' CEO Karim Kurmaly says: 'Aquaculture needs to scale up to meet the world's increasing demand for seafood but it can only do so sustainably. This is where Veramaris comes in; our algae oil, naturally rich in both EPA & DHA Omega-3 helps to reduce the industry's reliance on wild catch fish, and we also have the capability to produce, at scale, a natural and sustainable alternative to fish oil.
'Our success depends on our people and I am thrilled to welcome Johan to our talented team. His proven track record in the industry will be a huge asset as we continue on our mission to expand the world's supply of certified sustainable EPA & DHA Omega-3.'
Founded just over three years ago by science and chemicals giants DSM and Evonik, Veramaris has made an extraordinary impact on the aquaculture industry in a relatively short space of time.
Earlier this year, Veramaris became the first microalgae oil producer for feed to achieve joint ASC-MSC certification therewith expanding the world's access to certified EPA& DHA Omega-3 by 45 percent.
Veramaris represents one of the sustainable choices for Omega-3 nutrition in both the aquaculture and pet food industries. Salmon, shrimp and other species as well as cats and dogs can now grow up on EPA & DHA Omega-3 from natural marine algae, which reduces reliance on wild-caught fish for feed.
