GC Rieber VivoMega is celebrating its 60th anniversary of providing high-potency, environmentally sustainable fish and vegan omega-3 concentrates.
The company will also showcase its achievements at booth #4152 in the upcoming trade show, SupplySide Global, in Las Vegas, on October 29 and 30.
Originally founded in Kristiansund in 1965 as Alnes Marine Oils, the company began with a clear focus on producing and trading marine fish oils.
The company now operates as GC Rieber VivoMega, drawing on the GC Rieber Group’s long-standing expertise in the marine oils sector.
During its decades in operation, the Kristiansund facility in Norway has honed its specialisation in high-quality omega-3 production, earning a reputation as a benchmark in the global industry.
In 2010, GC Rieber completed the construction of a high-concentration production facility, branding its products as VivoMega and concentrating solely on the production of high- and ultra-grade omega-3 concentrates.
Then, in 2023, GC Rieber VivoMega entered the vegan category with the launch of its non-GMO EPA+DHA Algae Oils to satisfy the growing demand for EPA + DHA alternatives.
A year later, the company completed its sixth facility expansion, which included a key milestone: an electric steam boiler that enables its three facilities to operate on 100% renewable energy.
The $75m expansion has significantly increased the output of its high-end triglyceride forms of omega-3s, EPA and DHA, while also conserving resources and offering customisation options.
“During our long history, we have continually evolved to meet the growing demands of the global omega-3 market."
"We have achieved this by adhering to our three core values: creativity, diligence and responsibility,” said Snorre Glærum Strand, CEO at GC Rieber VivoMega.
"Our mission has always been to improve human health through sustainable and innovative omega-3 solutions."
"We are incredibly proud of this milestone and deeply thankful to our team, customers and partners."
GC Rieber VivoMega offers a wide range of sustainable EPA and DHA ratios, available in both ethyl ester (EE) and natural triglyceride (TG) forms, with total omega-3 content ranging from 70% to 90%.
The company employs state-of-the-art production equipment and rigorous testing protocols, allowing it to produce oils that consistently exceed international quality standards such as the GOED monograph and IFOS certification.
GC Rieber VivoMega will be celebrating this 60th anniversary milestone, as well as the launch of its latest algal variation, 1060TG, at SupplySide Global, booth 4152.
