The Aller Aqua Group has inaugurated its sixth factory, Aller Aqua Qingdao. The inauguration comes just one month after the group inaugurated it\'s factory in Zambia. 

“Inaugurating 2 factories in 2 months is exceptional,\" exclaimed Hans Erik Bylling, Group President for Aller Aqua Group. “We have had a few busy years leading up to the inaugurations and now we are finally ready. I am proud of what we have achieved.”

Anders C. Bylling, Managing Director of Aller Aqua Qingdao and son of Hans Erik Bylling, explained that the process of building a factory in China has been long. “We have had some delays along the way, but we reached our goal. Our Chinese team has worked exceptionally hard to have everything ready for the inauguration. It has been a very good day with almost 200 participants for the opening itself, and almost 300 participants to the International Cold Fish Aquaculture Technology Seminar we organized the day before.”

“We chose to establish the factory without a local partner to ensure that we can continue to deliver the products that the customers are familiar with,\" Bylling continued. \"We have delivered high quality aquafeed to China for the last 20 years, produced under European standards, and we will continue to run the factory like we would in Denmark. We will do this by sourcing the raw materials in Europe, and ensure a highly trained local team which knows how to comply with the European standards.”

The factory in China will focus on the growing cold-water species aquaculture industry in China.

In conjunction with the inauguration, Aller Aqua Qingdao facilitated the first International Cold Fish Aquaculture Technology Seminar on the 30th October in Qingdao.
