OCEAN DIVISION

BIODEGRADABLE MESH

In this division we are the world’s largest producer of 100% cotton meshes, which are used in aquaculture, specifically in the sowing and harvesting of mussels, being a biodegradable material, an essential condition for the survival of mussels until its harvest. Being submerged in seawater, the living microorganisms that inhabits the ocean absorbs the cotton were in a very short period of time makes all its particles disappear.

In addition to the above, we manufacture the Ropemussel (fattening cable), with a unique technology, designed and developed with our technicians from Tipy Town and German engineers. This consists of a braided cable from which the loops come out, which is where the mussels are attached until they are harvested.

It is noteworthy to indicate that Chile in this field in a couple of years has become the first exporter and the second producer of mussels worldwide.

CAPE MUSSEL

This cable is the most efficient substrate that exists and is used in mussel crops so that they are fixed from planting to harvest.
