Nutreco acquires Tomboy Aquafeed JSC in Vietnam
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Nutreco announced today that it has acquired 100% of the shares in Tomboy
Aquafeed JSC in Vietnam, a reputable and profitable Vietnamese fish and shrimp
feed company. With a number four market position, Tomboy Aquafeed is a leading
player in Vietnam for shrimp. Recently it invested in a new plant and started
producing feed for marine and high value fresh water species such as tilapia,
barramundi, snapper and grouper. Tomboy has two plants near Ho Chi Min City and
in the Long An Province and employs approximately 300 staff. Annual revenues
amounted to EUR 18 million in 2009.
Vietnam is the third largest country in global aquaculture, after China and
India, and is one of the world's largest producers of shrimps. With a 3,260
kilometer coast line and the Mekong Delta it has over the past decade
experienced strong growth of its aquaculture sector, initially for shrimp, then
catfish and recently also for marine fish species. Vietnam is poised to develop
into a leading Asian producer and processor of farmed shrimp and marine fish
with a strong export focus.
Tomboy Aquafeed produces hiqh-quality feed and has a good brand recognition
based on reliability, quality and customer support. Its technical support
service is regarded and appreciated by farmers and it has one of the best
country-wide distribution networks in Vietnam for fish and shrimp feed.
Knut Nesse, Nutreco Executive Vice-President Aquaculture: "Skretting has a
global leading position for the production of high-quality fish feed in a
sustainable manner. We want to capitalize on this position and our know-how by
approaching new markets with regards to geography and species. This acquisition
perfectly fits in our growth strategy to further develop positions in strategic
markets with feed for new species such as shrimp. It offers Skretting an
entrance in Vietnam and an interesting platform for future growth."
The acquisition of Tomboy Aquafeed fits in Nutreco's strategy to expand its
global market positions in feed specialties and fish feed in growth markets.
