Aker BioMarine Human Health Ingredients (HHI) is preparing for a prominent presence at Vitafoods India 2026 (Booth #C08), strengthening its long-term commitment to India.
Marking a new chapter of growth, the company will showcase strategic investments in local leadership, distribution partnerships and targeted product innovation designed to meet the evolving needs of Indian consumers and nutraceutical brands.
At the show, Aker BioMarine will introduce Revervia, a high-concentration, algae-based DHA solution designed to meet the needs of Indian consumers and customers alike.
Supporting brain, eye, maternal and foetal health, Revervia offers minimal taste and smell, making it well suited for capsules, powders and a wide range of functional formats. The algae oil's high levels of DHA come from natural fermentation rather than chemical concentration.
Expanding Aker BioMarine’s sustainable nutrition portfolio, Revervia combines trusted omega-3 science with plant-based, vegetarian ingredients.
It provides brands with a flexible, high-quality solution aligned with India’s needs for a vegetarian sourced omega-3 ingredient, backed by full-service expertise from formulation to market launch.
Aker BioMarine will also highlight Superba Krill oil, a multi-nutrient solution designed to support healthy ageing and proactive care across all life stages.
Naturally rich in omega-3 EPA and DHA, choline, and astaxanthin, Superba Krill oil is distinguished by its phospholipid advantage, meaning it is one of the most bioavailable forms of omega-3 available, supporting superior nutrient absorption and cellular-level benefits.
A growing body of science demonstrates Superba Krill Oil’s positive effects on cellular health, brain health and joint health — key focus areas for Indian consumers seeking long-term wellness and vitality.
Together, krill oil and algae-derived DHA position Aker BioMarine as a leader in sustainable, science-backed health solutions tailored for the Indian market.
Building a strong foundation for growth in India
As part of its expansion strategy, Aker BioMarine has appointed Hidayat Ali as Country Director, India, to lead commercial growth and market development.
With more than 15 years of experience building and scaling speciality ingredient businesses across pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals, Ali brings deep scientific expertise, regulatory insight and commercial acumen to the role.
Most recently at Kappa Bioscience AS (now part of Balchem Corporation), Ali built a multi-million-dollar portfolio of branded ingredients across South Asia and the Middle East.
Earlier in his career, he spent more than a decade managing pharmaceutical and nutraceutical amino acid portfolios with SEKISUI Chemical Japan.
A registered Pharmacist with an MBA in International Business, Ali is well positioned to expand Aker BioMarine’s footprint and foster strong partnerships across India’s nutrition ecosystem.
Further strengthening its presence, Aker BioMarine has entered into a strategic partnership with G.C. Chemie Pharmie Pvt. Ltd. (GCCPL) to expand access to its clinically validated krill oil and algae-derived DHA ingredients across India.
With more than four decades of experience, GCCPL is a leading Indian healthcare company operating across pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, functional foods and biopharmaceuticals.
Known for its scientific rigour, regulatory expertise and pan-India reach, GCCPL will leverage its strong distribution network and technical capabilities to make Aker BioMarine’s premium ingredients accessible to Indian manufacturers and brand owners.
The partnership reflects a shared commitment to evidence-based nutrition and supports the growing demand for clinically substantiated, high-quality health solutions in India.
"India is a critical growth market for Aker BioMarine and our presence at Vitafoods India 2026 reflects our long-term commitment to building strong partnerships supported by local leadership and science-driven innovation," said Ross Norris, General Manager Asia Pacific, Aker BioMarine.
"By combining sustainable krill oil, algae-based DHA through Revervia and trusted distribution capabilities, we are enabling Indian nutraceutical brands to meet evolving consumer needs with clinically validated, high-quality omega-3 solutions."
