New production line will add 50,000 tonnes and unlock advanced feed solutions for emerging high-end species

BioMar Group has announced a significant expansion of its production facility in Wuxi, China, reinforcing its long-term commitment to the Chinese aquaculture market. In partnership with joint venture partner Tongwei, the company will add a second production line at the Wuxi plant during 2026, effectively doubling the site’s capacity and enabling entry into new high-value market segments.

The expansion will increase Wuxi’s annual capacity by 50,000 tonnes, supporting both rising demand and the development of advanced specialty feeds. The new line will allow BioMar to produce high-performance nursery feeds for early growth stages and innovative feed solutions for premium species.

Currently, the Wuxi facility primarily supplies feed for high-end species including trout, salmon, sturgeon, largemouth bass, turbot, and yellow croaker. With the addition of new technological capabilities, the plant will expand into feeds for species such as Japanese eel, grouper, and mandarin fish, as well as advanced nursery products tailored for optimized early-stage development.

Strengthening BioMar’s Footprint in China

BioMar has operated in China since 2016, working closely with Tongwei to establish a strong position in the high-value aquaculture segment. The Wuxi plant was developed as a greenfield project, built around BioMar’s core manufacturing standards and technologies.

In addition, the joint venture incorporated the Zhuhai (Haiwei) facility, originally owned by Tongwei, which has successfully served premium species such as seabass and snakehead.

Today, the two facilities together hold a combined annual capacity of 200,000 tonnes. However, increasing demand across BioMar’s product portfolio has begun to constrain further growth, prompting the decision to expand operations in Wuxi.

“In recent years, we have developed a substantial business presence in China, where we collaborate with customers to introduce innovative feed solutions grounded in BioMar’s research and global experience with high-value species and sustainable aquaculture nutrition,” said Carlos Diaz, CEO of BioMar Group.

“Our goal is to elevate this success by expanding the production capacity in Wuxi by 50,000 tonnes, while integrating advanced technological capabilities into our production facility.”

Part of a Broader Global Growth Strategy

The Wuxi expansion forms part of BioMar’s wider global growth strategy, which emphasizes close collaboration with customers and partners in emerging markets. Over the past decade, the company has expanded production and business operations into new geographies including China, Ecuador, Australia, Iceland, and Vietnam.

Beyond geographic expansion, BioMar has diversified into new business areas such as intelligent feeding technologies, reinforcing its position as a leader in sustainable aquaculture nutrition.

“We have built a solid model for expanding the business — ambitious in our growth aspirations while ensuring each step into new markets is carefully nurtured and integrated into the BioMar business model,” said Carlos Diaz.

“This is clearly reflected in our financial results, where investments have historically been followed by growth in volumes and earnings, creating a strong global business for BioMar.”

The new production line at Wuxi is expected to be commissioned in the first quarter of 2027, positioning BioMar to capture new opportunities in China’s rapidly evolving aquaculture sector.

BioMar、中国・無錫で大規模拡張により生産能力を倍増へ

新たな生産ラインが50,000トンを追加し、新興の高級魚種向け先進飼料ソリューションを可能に

BioMar Groupは、中国の養殖市場への長期的なコミットメントを強化する重要な拡張計画を発表した。合弁パートナーであるTongweiとの協業のもと、同社は2026年中国・無錫の生産施設へ第2の生産ラインを追加し、同拠点の生産能力を実質的に倍増させるとともに、新たな高付加価値市場セグメントへの参入を可能にする。

この拡張により、無錫の年間生産能力は50,000トン増加し、需要拡大への対応と先進的な特殊飼料の開発を支える。新ラインの導入により、初期成長段階向けの高性能ナーサリー飼料や、プレミアム魚種向けの革新的な飼料ソリューションの生産が可能となる。

現在、無錫施設は主にtrout、salmon、sturgeon、largemouth bass、turbot、yellow croakerといった高級魚種向け飼料を供給している。新たな技術的能力の追加により、同施設はJapanese eel、grouper、mandarin fish向け飼料や、初期段階の最適化を目的とした先進的ナーサリー製品へと事業を拡大する。

中国におけるBioMarのプレゼンス強化

BioMar2016年より中国で事業を展開し、Tongweiと緊密に連携しながら高付加価値養殖セグメントで強固な地位を確立してきた。無錫工場はグリーンフィールドプロジェクトとして開発され、BioMarの中核的な製造基準と技術を基盤として構築された。

さらに、合弁事業にはTongweiが所有していた珠海(Haiwei)施設が組み込まれており、同施設はseabassおよびsnakeheadといったプレミアム魚種向け飼料で成功を収めてきた。

現在、両施設の合計年間生産能力は200,000トンである。しかし、BioMarの製品ポートフォリオ全体にわたる需要増加により、さらなる成長が制約されつつあり、無錫での拡張決定に至った。

「近年、私たちは中国において確固たる事業基盤を築いてきました。そこでは、BioMarの研究および高付加価値魚種と持続可能な養殖栄養に関するグローバルな経験に基づく革新的な飼料ソリューションを顧客と共に導入しています」と、BioMar Group CEOのCarlos Diazは述べた。

「私たちの目標は、50,000トンの生産能力拡張と先進的技術能力の統合により、無錫における成功をさらに高めることです。」

より広範なグローバル成長戦略の一環

無錫での拡張は、BioMarのより広範なグローバル成長戦略の一環であり、新興市場において顧客およびパートナーと緊密に協力しながら事業を拡大することを目的としている。過去10年間で同社は、China、Ecuador、Australia、Iceland、Vietnamといった新たな地域へ生産および事業を拡大してきた。

地理的拡張に加え、BioMarはintelligent feeding technologiesといった新たな事業分野にも進出し、持続可能な養殖栄養分野におけるリーダーとしての地位を強化している。

「私たちは事業拡大のための堅固なモデルを構築してきました。成長への高い志を持ちながらも、新市場への一歩一歩を慎重に育成し、BioMarのビジネスモデルに統合しています」と、Carlos Diazは述べた。

「これは当社の財務結果にも明確に表れており、投資は歴史的に販売量と収益の成長に結びつき、BioMarの強力なグローバルビジネスを創出しています。」

無錫の新生産ラインは2027年第1四半期に稼働開始予定であり、急速に進化する中国の養殖セクターにおける新たな機会をBioMarが捉えるための体制を整える。

BioMar将在中国无锡大规模扩建,实现产能翻倍

新增生产线将增加50,000吨产能,并为新兴高端物种提供先进饲料解决方案

BioMar Group宣布对其生产设施进行重大扩建,进一步强化其对中国水产养殖市场的长期承诺。在与合资伙伴Tongwei的合作下,公司将于2026年中国无锡生产基地新增第二条生产线,使该基地的产能实现翻倍,并支持进入新的高价值市场领域。

此次扩建将使无锡的年产能增加50,000吨,以满足不断增长的需求,并推动先进特种饲料的开发。新生产线将能够生产用于早期生长阶段的高性能苗种饲料,以及面向高端物种的创新型饲料解决方案。

目前,无锡工厂主要为trout、salmon、sturgeon、largemouth bass、turbot、yellow croaker等高端物种提供饲料。随着新技术能力的引入,该工厂还将能够生产用于Japanese eel、grouper、mandarin fish等物种的饲料,以及针对早期阶段优化的先进苗种产品。

巩固BioMar在中国的布局

BioMar2016年起进入中国市场,并与Tongwei密切合作,在高价值水产养殖领域建立了稳固地位。无锡工厂作为绿地项目建设,全面采用BioMar的核心生产标准与技术。

此外,合资企业还整合了原由Tongwei拥有的珠海(Haiwei)工厂,该工厂在为seabasssnakehead等高端物种提供饲料方面表现出色。

目前,两家工厂的合计年产能达到200,000吨。然而,随着BioMar产品组合在市场上的需求不断增长,现有产能已逐渐限制公司进一步发展的空间,因此决定扩建无锡基地。

“近年来,我们在中国建立了坚实的业务基础,与客户合作,引入基于BioMar研究成果及其在高价值物种和可持续水产营养方面全球经验的创新饲料解决方案,”BioMar Group首席执行官Carlos Diaz表示。

“我们的目标是通过在无锡增加50,000吨产能,并将先进技术能力整合到生产设施中,进一步提升这一成功。”

全球增长战略的重要组成部分

无锡扩建项目是BioMar整体全球增长战略的一部分,旨在与客户和合作伙伴紧密合作,拓展新兴市场。过去十年,公司已在China、Ecuador、Australia、Iceland、Vietnam等新地区建立生产和业务布局。

除地域扩张外,BioMar还进入了intelligent feeding technologies等新业务领域,进一步巩固其在可持续水产营养领域的领先地位。

“我们已经建立了稳固的业务扩张模式,在保持雄心壮志的同时,确保每一次进入新市场的举措都得到培育并融入BioMar的商业模式之中,”Carlos Diaz表示。

“这一点在我们的财务表现中得到了清晰体现,历史上投资之后均伴随着销量和盈利的增长,打造了一个强大的全球化BioMar业务。”

无锡的新生产线预计将于2027年第一季度投入运营,使BioMar能够把握中国快速发展的水产养殖行业新机遇。
