Our company
We are a salmon farmer born in the south of Chile and we are proud of our origins. Each month, we feed over 150 million people around the world with a tasty and healthy product, from salmon that have been raised and processed in Patagonia.
As a result of the integration of what used to be AquaChile, with Los Fiordos, Salmones Magallanes and salmon assets from Friosur, we are the largest salmon farmer in Chile, and the second largest worldwide.
We are the second largest producer in the world
We have an integrated production model that covers the whole salmon production cycle: from genetics and freshwater production, farms, processing, salmon feed production as well as sales and marketing. We take great care over each stage of the process and we operate according to the highest standards of biosecurity and animal welfare.
We make the highest quality food products using processes and methods that are environmentally responsible, inclusive of our neighboring communities and focused on innovation. We are a company that is characterized by its entrepreneurial spirit, by simplicity and austerity and well known for the way in which we put all our heart and soul into our work.
We control from genetics to commercialization
