Ace Aquatec hires general manager to lead Latin American expansion
Fish farming technology innovator Ace Aquatec’s Chilean subsidiary, Ace Aquatec SpA, has appointed Gonzalo Eduardo Boehmwald Trigo as general manager for Latin America.
Dundee-based Ace Aquatec said Boehmwald will drive regional expansion, deepen key customer relationships, and lead the commercial delivery of the company’s rapidly growing equipment and service offering in this region, unlocking new business opportunities across the aquaculture sector.
Ace Aquatec said it has already achieved strong uptake of its stunning and biomass products in Chile, working with some of the leading salmon producers in the region and globally. Boehmwald will be supporting existing and new customers as Ace Aquatec takes its business through its next phase of growth in Latin America (LATAM).
Strong track record
“With more than 20 years of global experience in salmon aquaculture, Gonzalo brings a strong track record in commercial leadership, international market development, and operational excellence,” said Ace Aquatec.
“He holds an Aquaculture Engineering degree from Universidad Andrés Bello and a Diploma in Business Management from Universidad Adolfo Ibáñez, with extensive experience across Chile, Norway, Canada, the UK, and LATAM.”
Boehmwald, who spent more than five years with Akva group Chile and eight with Oxzo, said: “I am excited to join Ace Aquatec at a time of strong global growth for the aquaculture sector. Latin America represents a key region for innovation and sustainable development, and I look forward to working closely with our customers and partners to deliver solutions that enhance productivity, fish welfare, and long-term value.”
Data-driven tools
Nathan Pyne-Carter, chief executive of Ace Aquatec, said: “Gonzalo’s appointment strengthens our ability to scale key technologies such as A-Biomass, A-Harvestcam and our in-water stunning systems across Latin America.
“His experience in complex salmon farming environments will support the deployment of our data-driven tools that enhance biomass accuracy, optimise feeding strategies, and improve fish welfare outcomes. This aligns directly with our focus on delivering measurable performance gains through precision aquaculture technologies.”
Tara McGregor-Woodhams, chief sales and marketing officer of Ace Aquatec, said: “Gonzalo has a strong track record in driving revenue growth, developing client-centric strategies, and leading multidisciplinary teams. His deep industry expertise and international experience make him an excellent fit for this role.
“This appointment reinforces Ace Aquatec’s commitment to strengthening its presence in Latin America and delivering innovative solutions to the aquaculture industry.”
