Ittinsect rebrands to Ocean Twist Biotechnology

October 14, 2024 - Ittinsect, a pioneer in sustainable aquaculture feed, has officially rebranded as Ocean Twist Biotechnology to reflect its expanded operations and innovative technology. The company now produces high-performance protein concentrates through advanced biotech processes, sourcing circular materials such as plant-based presscakes and insects.

The company aims to introduce its protein concentrates as a novel macro-ingredient that can replace traditional, resource-intensive ingredients like fishmeal and soy in animal and aquaculture feed.

"We identified a large gap in the market: fishmeal demand is rising very fast, but its availability is limited. Most novel proteins have technical limits that prevent large-scale inclusion in livestock and fish feed, meaning they can't fully replace fishmeal" said Alessandro Romano, CEO of Ocean Twist Biotechnology.

The rebranding emphasises Ocean Twist's mission to reduce pressure on marine ecosystems by offering sustainable, scalable alternatives to ocean-derived resources.

The company is led by a team of nine experts in food technology, fish nutrition, biotechnology, business and finance. Over the past three years the team has delivered outstanding technical results, with presence in three European countries, and is poised to drive innovation in the protein industry.
