Thai Union opened a new tuna oil refinery facility in Germany, becoming the only marine oil refiner to own a complete supply chain with production, the company said.
Initial oil extraction is completed at Thai Union’s production facilities in Samut Sakorn, Thailand, before being shipped to the $24 (€21.3)-million facility in Rostock via airfreight.
“We are focused on creating a sustainable future for the tuna industry by maximizing and leveraging high-nutrient tuna byproducts,” said Thiraphong Chansiri, CEO at Thai Union.
