Coppens International, which joined the Alltech family of companies in 2016, has been rebranded as Alltech Coppens.

Originally established 25 years ago as Coppens International, the company is recognized in particular for its starter feed for a broad range of fish species, including sturgeon, trout, catfish, eel, tilapia and carp.

“This rebrand to Alltech Coppens is very much a natural progression,\" stated Patrick Charlton, CEO of Alltech Coppens. \"Since 2016, our teams have worked together, combining our respective specialist skills to deliver the very latest innovative aquaculture feeds directly to producers across the globe. This mission shall very much continue under the Alltech Coppens brand.” 

Alltech has invested heavily in Coppens during the past two years with the expansion of the Alltech Coppens Aqua Center and the installation of a third extruder at the site. These investments were necessary not only to meet customer demands for more products and technology, but also to provide the team at Alltech Coppens increased production capacity. These investments have also allowed the team to expand into new markets such as Norway, the U.S., Bulgaria, Greece and Turkey as well as exciting collaboration work in Brazil.

“Since the acquisition, our goal has been to establish Coppens International as the cornerstone of Alltech’s global aquaculture business. By becoming Alltech Coppens, we not only retain 25 years of history and reputation — we also move forward to ensure we are more relevant globally to our customers and the wider industry. Alltech Coppens is a solid platform on which we can grow our aqua nutrition business in the years to come.”
