- Inversiones Nutravalor S.A. is a Chile-based investment holding company primarily engaged in the sustainable nutrition, marine resources, biotechnology, and agribusiness sectors. Founded in 1956 in Arica and headquartered in Las Condes, Santiago, Chile, the company operates as a member of the Angelini Group (Inversiones Angelini y Compañía Limitada) alongside strategic ties to Empresas Copec. Through its subsidiaries, joint ventures, and operating affiliates—including Corpesca S.A., Orizon S.A., Nutrisco S.A., Golden Omega S.A., and Valle Frío SpA—the enterprise oversees an integrated industrial and commercial network serving human nutrition, animal feed, aquaculture, pharmaceutical, and consumer goods markets across Latin America, North America, Europe, and Asia.
The company offers a diverse portfolio of products and services organized into specialized business divisions: industrial marine proteins and lipids, including standard and prime fishmeal, refined fish oils, and formulated aquafeed ingredients produced by Corpesca and Orizon; pharmaceutical- and nutraceutical-grade active bio-ingredients, featuring patented, ultra-purified Omega-3 fatty acid concentrates high in EPA and DHA manufactured by Golden Omega for international supplement, dietary, and healthcare manufacturers; packaged shelf-stable consumer foods, including canned jack mackerel, tuna, sardines, and mussels, as well as dry pantry staples including rice and pulses marketed under the San José brand; ready-to-eat healthy snacks and modern nutrition products distributed under the Flip brand; and individually quick-frozen (IQF) fruits and agricultural commodities processed and exported by Valle Frío, notably distributed under the BOU consumer brand for retail and food service channels in North American and international markets.
In recent corporate developments, the company executed a strategic transition and reorganization by changing its corporate name from Empresa Pesquera Eperva S.A. to Inversiones Nutravalor S.A., reflecting a strategic shift from traditional extractive fishing toward high-value sustainable nutrition, health ingredients, and diversified agribusiness. Concurrently, the group consolidated its commercial distribution and branding activities under the Nutrisco platform to separate primary harvesting and extraction from multi-channel food marketing, commercial logistics, and direct consumer brand management. In the recent operating period, Inversiones Nutravalor has focused on expanding the global manufacturing and distribution footprint of its high-purity Omega-3 concentrates, adapting industrial fleet operations and catch quotas to domestic regulatory frameworks in Chile, and investing in advanced processing technologies to enhance circularity, efficiency, and traceability across its food and feed supply chains.
