Aller Aqua's history

The story of Aller Aqua began many years ago at Aller Mill. Aller Mill is today called Aller Aqua and is a family-owned company, directed by Anders Carøe Bylling, son of Hans Erik Bylling, Aller Aqua's Group President, and great-grandson of master journeyman Frederik Bylling, who came to the mill in 1910 and, in cooperation with his wife, took over the mill in 1912. Ever since then, it has been a member of the Bylling family who has led the company. Through wartimes and peace, through crisis and wealth, the mill has survived both good and bad times.

This story is with us every day. The Aller spirit lives in the quality of our products, in the time we spend talking to and helping our customers, in the daily chats to colleagues, the routines in production, and in every handshake we give, for every sale we make. Our history lives in us.

The mill and the business have grown with time. The production of fish feed became an independent business in 1996, and Aller Aqua is today the 3rd largest producer of fish feed in Europe. We have factories in 7 countries and sell feed in more than 70. As a company, we are big enough to meet your needs but smaller than the biggest producers, and this is exactly what makes us flexible, ready for change, decisive, and gives us the option of reacting quickly to the changing needs of our customers.

Our long history is our guarantee to our customers that we know what we are talking about, that we keep our promises, and that we are right here – now, and for many years to come.

Aller Aqua in brief

Aller Aqua produces fish feed for freshwater and saltwater aquaculture. That is a brief presentation, but it doesn’t even come close to covering the entire story.

Aller Aqua is a family-owned company. We have produced fish feed for 60 years, and this makes us one of the world’s most experienced fish feed producers, delivering some of the best products on the market, to our customers.

Today Aller Aqua has factories in Denmark, Poland, Germany, Egypt, China, Zambia, and Serbia, and we export our products to more than 70 countries worldwide. We have a broad and professional product range, consisting of feed for 30 species of fish.

We know the importance the right feed plays in our customers' production, and therefore our professional development- and research centre in Germany, Aller Aqua Research, consistently works on optimizing, developing, and documenting the effect of our products. This ensures that our customers receive top-quality professional products, at competitive prices – delivered on time.

As a company, we are big enough to meet your needs and small enough to be flexible. This ensures that we can react quickly to our customer’s needs, which is essential when you strive not only to deliver fish feed but also to spar with and contribute to optimizing our customers' businesses.

Our experience and history are our guarantees to our customers that we know what we are talking about, that we keep our promises, and that we are right here – and that will still be the case in many years to come.
