The SIIFIC Wellness Fund, jointly managed by SIIF and SIIF Impact Capital (SIIFIC), has decided to invest in Proximar Inc. (hereinafter referred to as "Proximar"), which is engaged in full land-based aquaculture of Atlantic salmon. Globally, there are only a handful of companies that have successfully farmed Atlantic salmon on a commercial scale. Proximar is the first successful example in Japan. As wild fish catches have drastically decreased due to global warming, Proximar has opened up new possibilities for sustainable fisheries through this technological innovation. Currently, the company aims to produce approximately 5,000 tons of Atlantic salmon per year, and this will be the fund's third investment.

On Thursday 20 March, a press conference and media event was held in Taipei for
the announcement of the first exports of the Fuji Atlantic salmon to the
Taiwanese market.
The joint press conference, together with Tamsuo and Marubeni Seafoods, was
attended by over 100 participants, including 20+ media companies and 3
television channels.
Amongst the participants were representatives from the HORECA market, as well as
from and retail market in Taiwan.
At the end of the session, Fuji Atlantic salmon was served by sushi chefs to all
participants receiving very positive feedback.
The Taiwanese market for Atlantic salmon represents approximately 16,000 tonnes
HOG per year, and Atlantic salmon has become a popular part of the Taiwanese
menu.
Exporting to adjacent Asian countries is part of the strategy to develop demand,
also taking future capacity expansion into consideration.
Although the demand remains strong in Japan, building demand from other markets
is important to maintain our long-term pricing strategy.
Proximar continues to see strong interest from the Asian markets and is well
positioned to supply fish to to this high-growth region.
As for prices achievements, the net price to Proximar is expected to stay at
least at the same levels as for the Japanese market.

Oslo (Infront TDN Direkt): Proximar Seafood hadde ved utgangen av første kvartal 2025 en stående biomasse på 1.126 tonn, sammenlignet med 1.058 tonn ved utgangen av fjerde kvartal 2024.

Det fremgår av en melding fra selskapet mandag.

Selskapet har for tiden 21 batcher i produksjon. Proximars målsatte langsiktige slaktenivå er 5.300 tonn (HOG) pr år i fase 1, og basert på systemets og biologiens utvikling er selskapet fortsatt i rute for å nå målsetningen om full kapasitetsutnyttelse i 2027.

I løpet av kvartalet slaktet selskapet 322 tonn (HOG) med en gjennomsnittlig netto salgspris på 104 kroner pr kilo. 113 kroner pr kilo ble imidlertid oppnådd for fisk på 3+ kilo, som ifølge selskapet viser en solid prispremie sammenlignet med importert laks fra Norge.

Gjennomsnittlig slaktevekt var rundt 3,05 kilo, med 99,5 prosent superior andel. Den gjennomsnittlige vekten på den slaktede fisken var om lag 4,17 kg (HOG), hvor 99,9 prosent var av superior-kvalitet.

"Som kommunisert i kvartalsrapporten for fjerde kvartal 2024, har redusert fôring etter hendelsene påvirket tilvekstraten og gjennomsnittlig slaktevekt i kvartalet. Reparasjonsarbeidet går imidlertid som planlagt, og det siste biofilteret forventes å være i drift i begynnelsen av mai", skriver selskapet.
