- Omega Protein Corporation is a vertically integrated producer specializing in omega-3 rich fish oil, protein-rich specialty fishmeal, and organic fish solubles derived primarily from menhaden, an inedible fish harvested in coastal waters off the U.S. mid-Atlantic and Gulf coasts. The company offers a comprehensive portfolio including fish meal for livestock, aquaculture, and companion animal feed; ultra-refined omega-3 fish oil products for human nutrition; branded fish solubles used as agronomic plant food; and specialty oils and essential fatty acids. Its product suite is marketed under several brand names such as OmegaGrow, Virginia Prime, OmegaEquis, Special Select, Natural Nautic, SeaLac, and Neptune, serving customers across human nutrition, animal nutrition, and plant nutrition sectors with geographic reach spanning North America, Europe, and Asia. Founded in 1913 and headquartered in Reedville, Virginia, Omega Protein operates a fleet of fishing vessels and facilities integral to its extraction and production processes. The company is a leader in the sustainable harvesting and processing of menhaden to produce nutritional ingredients for foods, dietary supplements, and animal feeds. It maintains long-term supply contracts and strategic partnerships to support its fishing operations and product delivery globally. A significant recent development includes Omega Protein's acquisition by Cooke Inc., a Canadian-based seafood company, in a deal completed around 2022 with a valuation of approximately $500 million USD. This strategic acquisition aligns with Cooke's growth strategy to diversify its supply chain and strengthen its position in the omega-3 and aquaculture nutrition markets. The integration brings together Omega Protein’s century-old fishing expertise and production capabilities with Cooke’s global seafood operations and sustainable aquaculture focus, marking a major operational and strategic expansion for Omega Protein within the global nutrition and seafood industry. The company remains focused on sustainable aquaculture and agriculture as core to its business model, leveraging its expertise in omega-rich fish oil, proteins, and solubles to improve the nutritional integrity of animal and human food products worldwide. Omega Protein also continues to innovate with ultra-refined, molecularly distilled omega-3 ingredients for human food manufacturers and the marketing of high-quality feed ingredients and specialty nutritional products for aquaculture, livestock, and companion animals. In summary, Omega Protein Corporation is a leading producer of omega-3 fish oil, fishmeal, and related nutritional compounds, with diversified product lines supporting multiple nutrition industries worldwide. Its recent acquisition by Cooke Inc. represents a transformative step in expanding its operational footprint and reinforcing its leadership in sustainable marine ingredient production from menhaden fish harvested primarily in U.S. coastal waters.
