What we do

 

Managing all our processes

from farm to factory, we grow

and harvest New Zealand green

lipped mussels and carefully

extract the precious bioactives

for use in health products.

Growing and harvesting

 

Our farms are in the Marlborough Sounds,

Tasman Bay and Golden Bay. Mussels are

grown on longline ropes which are suspended

underwater. Floats are used for buoyancy to

keep the mussels from sinking.

 

The time from the seeding to the harvesting

of mussel lines may take up to three years.

We are constantly monitoring the mussels

as they grow in order to harvest them in

peak condition.

 

At any one time across all our farms, we

might use in the vicinity of 1.5 million

metres of line to grow our mussels –

that’s approximately the distance from

Auckland to Queenstown.

Reducing

our footprint

 

To reduce the environmental impact of our operations, we created Greenlab, our in-house committee dedicated to sustainability. As a team, we’ve improved our recycling and waste management processes and increased our energy efficiency, while also eradicating any product waste by drying discarded mussel shells and using them as land fertiliser.

Processed to

perfection

 

Once the mussels have been harvested,

we transport them direct to our modern

manufacturing facility in Nelson for processing.

 

As the active compounds can be degraded by

heat or exposure to air (among other things),

our processes are highly engineered to prevent

degradation occurring, thus maintaining the

bioactive properties.

Building new relationships

 

As we continue to grow, we are always looking for new business opportunities to expand our supply base of mussels. If you are interested in talking please
