Blumar enters the business of mussels farming in 2008, through the acquisition of 50% of St. Andrews, a company dedicated to this business, and making important investment for the farming of this specie in the Island of Chiloe. The water in this area is ideal for this activity.
The plant was renovated and expanded to process large volumen of mussels, complying with all certifications that allow to export the products to the American, European, Asian and other markets.
The production is 20.000 tons per year and the products are available in IQF meat, whole shell and half shell.
