New Era Aquaculture Limited specialises in innovative dietary fish feeds and supplements. It also designs, installs and maintains distinctive aquariums for the corporate and leisure markets. Following funding from EV Growth, the company is now ready to travel to new shores in search of developing export markets.
The New Era team has over 20 years’ experience in the development of marine ornamental aquaculture, hatchery breeding programmes and dietary feeds & supplements. It has built an exceptional reputation and employs a highly skilled team, comprising fish nutritionists, marine biologists, immunologists, zoologists and microbiologists.
The team has incredible expertise in its sector – in 1989, it began piloting the very first ornamental marine fish hatchery in Europe to use recirculation and artificial environment technology; in 1994, it played a key role in developing Europe’s first commercial clownfish hatchery; and following this, implemented developments for successful breeding programmes for fire shrimps and many other species. With conservation and sustainability of great importance, the company took part in Project Sea Horse, to assess the potential of seahorse farming in Vietnam and the Philippines.
The company is committed to a significant programme of research and development, which results in uniquely formulated products of the very highest quality.
Growing fast, the company was looking for support to drive export sales via its distribution networks and for capital expenditure to expand its manufacturing facility, including the installation of a live fish holding facility. Investment was provided by EV Growth as part of a package of funding from numerous sources.
