Golden Omega Facility Launching by End of Year

ARICA, Chile—Golden Omega is starting the commissioning of its production facility in Chile, with final start-up set to occur by the end of 2011. The new plant and the onsite pilot plant are built to FDA pharmaceutical standards and are equipped with state-of-the-art technology whose production will render ultra-refined concentrates without fish odor or flavor. Golden Omega will then have a complete vertically integrated product line in place from fish to omega-3 concentrate products, ensuring a supply of fresh, high-quality fish oil from sustainable sources with full traceability. Golden Omega is owned by Orizon and Corpesca, two leading Chilean fishing companies producing the majority of Chilean fish oil with high content of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA)/docosahexaenoic acid (DHA); and Härting Group, owner of Arboris, a leading phytoesterol producer.
