Our origins
It all begins in Antarctica, the cleanest waters on earth. Within approved areas, we harvest krill with our own custom-built krill harvesting vessels, Antarctic Endurance, Saga Sea and Antarctic Sea, and our supply vessel, La Manche. It takes many years of experience and technical know how to navigate and harvest in these rough, unforgiving Antarctic waters.
Our harvesting method
To protect the environment, we developed our own method of harvesting krill, called Eco-Harvesting®. This method almost eliminates the catching of species other than krill, leaving our annual by-catch at very low levels, among the lowest compared to other fisheries.
Flexitech Technology
Our patented Flexitech technology allows us to extract krill oil in a unique way to minimize processing and preserve the naturally occurring nutrients that benefit human health. It also gives us the flexibility to up-concentrate the valuable nutrients in krill oil.
