Worldwide
As the leading aquaculture-focused company in the Alltech portfolio — alongside Alltech Fennoaqua (Finland) and Guabi (Brazil) — we collaborate globally to deliver powerful, proven feed solutions for fish and shrimp, leveraging more than 40 years of research and on-farm success. Through this alliance, we provide aquaculture farmers with access to integrated health strategies, net-energy concepts and pathogen-control innovations that reduce mortality and maximize profitability.
Locations
Alltech Coppens is comprised of three locations:
- The first – our headquarters in Helmond, the Netherlands – is where we welcome our customers and take care of sales of our independently developed fish feed.
- All of Coppens's fish feeds are developed at the second location: our research centre based in Valkenswaard, the Netherlands.
- After these have been tested thoroughly, they are taken into production at our third location in Nettetal, Germany, which takes care of scheduling, transport, and the purchasing of raw materials.
Alongside our quality-conscious staff, Alltech Coppens works with an extensive network of specialized agents and distributors to ensure high product quality. We export our fish feed to more than sixty countries worldwide.
Our R&D initiatives at the Alltech Coppens Aqua Centre (ACAC) have led to numerous breakthrough solutions, including:
Hatchery feeds: High-energy feeds for young trout, optimized for survival and early-stage growth.
Give your fry the best possible start with Alltech Coppens’ starter feeds, which are scientifically developed to boost survival, growth and health from the earliest life stages. Designed specifically for flow-through and RAS farms, these feeds are tailored to meet delicate nutritional needs, helping minimize deformities and mortalities. Powered by the innovative Aquate™ premix, which includes Bio-Mos®, Actigen® and Bioplex®, these feeds enhance gut health, immune defenses and nutrient absorption for stronger, more resilient fish. With proven results from trials in rainbow trout hatcheries, these starter feeds support a smooth weaning transition, superior performance and a reduced environmental impact.
Boost Feed Technology
This nutritional solution targeting gill health and parasite resistance has been shown to:
- Reduce the prevalence of gill worms by up to 80%
- Improve feed conversion ratios (FCR) and growth rates
- Lower mortality in intensive systems
Seasonal nutrition
Maximize your fish growth and profits year-round with seasonal tailored feeds from Alltech Coppens. These feeds, which are optimized for warm and cold water, help enhance fat digestibility, reduce feed waste and improve FCR. Unlock your farm’s full potential with seasonally tailored nutrition.
Sturgeon Skeleton Pack (SSP)
This solution is designed to address spinal deformities and fat imbalances in fast-growing RAS sturgeon, improving both the growth of the fish and caviar quality.
