To accommodate the growth in volumes sold, Danish feed group BioMar is investing in additional capacity at its factory in Ecuador.
A new extrusion line will add approximately 40,000 metric tons of capacity and is expected to enter operation in the first quarter of 2020, just one year after the latest capacity expansion, which is due in the first quarter of 2019.
“We have experienced a strong growth in Ecuador since the acquisition of Alimentsa in 2017 and we currently operate at our capacity limit," said BioMar's VP Emerging Markets Henrik Aarestrup.
