- Aker BioMarine AS (AKBM.OL) is a leading biotechnology company that harvests Antarctic krill and develops krill-derived ingredients for human health, nutrition, and emerging applications; it supplies high-quality omega-3 phospholipids, choline, astaxanthin, and proteins through a fully integrated supply chain from Antarctic harvesting to manufacturing facilities in Houston, Texas, and logistics in Montevideo, Uruguay. The company offers core products including Superba Krill Oil, a natural source of omega-3s, phospholipids, choline, and astaxanthin; Revervia, a premium algae oil with high DHA concentration; Lysoveta, a brain health supplement featuring LPC-bound EPA and DHA; PL+, a phospholipid delivery platform enhancing nutrient bioavailability; Understory, a sustainable protein with complete amino acid profile; AION, circular products from recycled marine plastic waste; Epion/Kori, a US consumer krill oil brand; CaPre, a therapeutic omega-3 candidate for cardiometabolic diseases; and KRBNX, biostimulants for agriculture. Founded in 2006 and headquartered in Lysaker, Norway, as a subsidiary of Aker ASA, Aker BioMarine operates globally with key markets in North America, Europe, Asia, and aquaculture regions, targeting nutraceutical manufacturers, consumer supplement brands, and research partners.
In recent developments, Aker BioMarine sold its Feed Ingredients business, the world's largest krill meal producer for aquaculture, to a consortium led by American Industrial Partners and Aker Capital at a USD 590 million enterprise valuation in 2024, enabling a sharpened focus on human health and nutrition segments comprising Human Health Ingredients, Consumer Health Ingredients, and Emerging Businesses while securing a long-term krill raw material supply agreement. The company scaled up its circular partnership with AION in October 2025 to reduce packaging waste using recycled plastics; Lysoveta won innovation awards for brain health and healthy aging in 2025; it launched a digital platform unlocking 20 years of krill research and reported double-digit Q2 2025 revenue growth to USD 55.3 million with positive EBITDA momentum. Additional 2025 milestones include partnerships with European distributors for marine ingredients, clinical trial agreements for Lysoveta, appointments of key executives like CMO Jaroslava Juricova-Olsen and Houston GM Bob Nelson, and advocacy for Antarctic marine protection at CCAMLR and Clinton Global Initiative.
