Ovun and AIS acquire Imenco Aqua

We are proud to share that Imenco Aqua becomes part of Ovun and AIS. With the acquisition, AIS strengthens its presence in Norway, and significantly increases its product portfolio and competence within aquaculture, a rapidly developing sector.

Imenco Aqua was founded in Norway in 1985 and has spent more than 40 years developing robust and forward-looking solutions for the aquaculture industry. The company is a leading supplier of smart solutions, equipment and advanced technology across camera systems, oxygenation, feeding systems, sensor systems and biomass measurement. Imenco Aqua is a perfect fit for the AIS portfolio.

– This acquisition is highly complementary to our recent Ovun acquisition and further accelerates our growth in the fast‑expanding aquaculture market. Imenco Aqua’s products are differentiated from our current offering and create clear cross‑selling opportunities across our customer bases. Drawing on Imenco Aqua’s expertise in Chile and its strong presence near Ovun in Norway, we are confident of a smooth integration and an excellent cultural fit between our businesses , says Andrew Bennion, CEO of AIS.

Following the integration, Imenco Aqua will become part of the AIS Marine division. Ovun will play a central role in the integration, while the company’s management and administration will continue as before. Our teams will work closely together to develop a joint strategy for further growth and collaboration.

– Imenco Aqua represents an important step for AIS and Ovun within the aquaculture market, and we foresee significant cross‑selling opportunities. I warmly welcome every member of the Imenco Aqua team and look forward to working together. Jan Møllerhaug, Managing Director of Ovun

– Our vision has always been to drive progress in aquaculture technology. By joining AIS, we gain a technology‑focused partner that shares our commitment to innovation and sustainability. Together, supported by AIS’ global network and depth of experience, we can strengthen our position in existing markets and open the door to new ones. We have already seen excellent collaboration potential and look forward to shaping the future of aquaculture technology together , says Tommy Storsveen, General Manager of Imenco Aqua.

A new chapter begins, but Imenco Aqua will continue to deliver innovation to the aquaculture industry with the same dedicated local teams. Day-to-day operations continue as normal, and continuity for customers and partners remains a priority. At the same time, the company can draw on the resources and global network of the AIS group.
