Equipped with cutting-edge nitrogen freezing technology, the new facility will ensure superior texture and flavor retention, setting a new standard for product quality. The adoption of this advanced freezing method reduces ice crystal formation and protects the integrity and quality of Australis' barramundi products.
Design of the facility integrates continuous yield monitoring and intelligent portioning technologies, allowing for precise, real-time optimization of processing operations. The facility will also include coating, breading, dehydration and tray packing lines to integrate production of a wide range of value-added products under one roof, enabling greater consistency, reduced waste, and traceability from farm to fork.
"Our investment in this facility will be undertaken in cooperation with an experienced Vietnamese real estate developer, and reflects our deep commitment to quality, innovation, and sustainability," said Josh Goldman, CEO of Australis Aquaculture. "By bringing processing closer to our farms and utilizing advanced technologies, we will deliver an even better product to our customers while improving efficiencies and environmental performance."
The launch of the new Vietnam processing facility marks a significant milestone in Australis' global growth strategy, reinforcing its leadership in responsible aquaculture and sustainable seafood solutions.
