- An additional $20 million will support fish and algal omega-3 concentrate production.
- The investment follows a $75 million Norwegian campus expansion completed in 2024.
GC Rieber VivoMega, an omega-3 concentrate producer based in Kristiansund, Norway, has announced an additional $20 million investment in production capabilities, according to an October 6 report. The spending builds on the company’s manufacturing campus expansion completed in 2024.
The investment covers both fish and algal omega-3 concentrates, giving the manufacturing program a role across marine and plant-based ingredient supply. The company introduced its algal portfolio in 2023, offering non-GMO, certified vegan oils as an alternative source of EPA and DHA for supplement manufacturers.
The earlier Norwegian expansion opened on May 24, 2024, following a $75 million investment. According to the company, it doubled capacity for triglyceride-form EPA and DHA and vegan algal oils. The expanded campus also included a 38,000-metric-ton storage tank park, an electric steam boiler and additional nitrogen systems to support oil stability.
That existing infrastructure provides the background to the latest commitment, which the company describes as part of its longer-term approach to diversifying omega-3 supply. Detailed projects and the allocation of the additional funding were not disclosed. CEO Snorre Glærum Strand framed the company’s investment approach around responding to current needs while preparing for future demand.
“We understand the immediate challenges facing the industry, but we are also looking ahead.”
