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.

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."

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

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

farm, Atlantic Salmon. You can read more about that, HERE.
