Solid start in USA for Superba Krill

Posted On: August 20, 2009

The biotechnology company Aker BioMarine shipped 15 metric tons (MT) of Superba Krill to the US market in the second quarter of 2009. Of this tonnage, 4.8 MT were sales recorded in the second quarter.

”The shipment is a key milestone. An additional 16 MT will be ready for delivery this August,” says Hallvard Muri, Aker BioMarine President and CEO.

”Aker BioMarine is stepping up international marketing and sales efforts, which include a pilot launch of direct sales to consumers in the United States. The pilot launch will indicate the commercial potential for Superba™ and our direct sales model in the US market. We are also seeking a cooperative agreement with a partner holding a strong position in the US market,” says Mr. Muri.
