HEADLINES Meet us at:

MARCH 2008
Over 20 pelleting and
extrusion lines in operation
today in Vietnam
In recent years the Vietnamese
aquacultural industry has been growing
rapidly. Vietnam has become a major
exporter of quality fish products. The
Mekon Delta region and southern
provinces together with the area around
the Red River in the north lend themselves
well to cultivating shrimp, catfish and,
more recently, tilapia. With the current
large investments by international and
local entrepreneurs, the trend is toward
integrated large-scale operations,
some with output figures from individual
companies between 0.5 and 1.0 mio. tons
of fish per year. In 2008 the export of fish
products from Vietnam is expected to
reach 1.25 billion USD, i.e. 25% higher
than in 2007.

Andritz Sprout entered the Vietnamese
market some eight years ago. With more
than 20 extrusion and pelleting lines sold
on this market, Andritz Sprout recently
decided to establish its own sales and
service office in Ho Chi Minh City.
New office in Vietnam
The new Andritz Sprout office in Ho
Chi Minh is managed by Mr. Le Quay
Ninh, who has more than 20 years of
experience in the feed industry. Mr. Ninh
shares the office with our Vietnamese
service engineer, Mr. Hung, who has been
operating and servicing Andritz Sprout
equipment in Vietnam for more than six
years.
