Nasdaq listing gives BioMar almost 11,000 new shareholders
Aquafeed producer BioMar has revealed that it now has 10,800 new shareholders after listing on the Nasdaq Denmark electronic stock exchange last week.
The first day of trading was marked by a bell-ringing ceremony at BioMar’s headquarters in Aarhus, Denmark, attended by employees, management, financial advisors, collaboration partners, and media representatives.
BioMar chief executive Carlos Diaz, chief financial officer Claus Eskildsen, the chair of the board Jens Bjerg Sørensen and Nasdaq all gave speeches, and more than 2,000 BioMar employees worldwide were able to follow the ceremony through a global live broadcast.
The listing provides the aquafeed producer with a broader ownership base, although previous sole owner Schouw & Co. remains a majority shareholder with slightly more than 70% of the shares.
Growth and innovation
BioMar, whose customers include Scotland salmon producers Scottish Sea Farms and Loch Duart, said the listing supports its continued ambitions for growth, innovation, and international expansion.
“We operate in one of the most important industries of our time,” said Diaz. “Aquaculture plays a critical role in feeding a growing global population with healthy and efficient protein sources.”
The company said it continues to invest in development of feed solutions, raw material innovation, fish performance and new technologies that support the future development of aquaculture.
“Innovation is not just a function within BioMar. It is our mindset. It is our culture. It is our way of working,” said Diaz. “It is what has brought us here today and it is what will take us forward.”
