Benchmark Genetics Iceland

Benchmark Genetics is the next leading biotech organization in Iceland. This company specialises in aquaculture genetics, with five in-house breeding programmes that are focusing on three main species: salmon, shrimp and tilapia. It currently presents in every major aquaculture market and for a wide range of species.

With a mission to promote the development of biotechnology in Iceland, Benchmark Genetics continuously renovates during its operation. The strategy of the company is making use of modern breeding technologies such as QTL and Genomic Selection. Although technology is an important foundation, customer-focused is also an essential factor. Long-standing collaborations and partnerships with leading aquaculture businesses are just as important when working on genetic improvements and developing new products and services.

Additionally, biosecurity is the highest priority in the operation of Benchmark Genetics and the status of its products. As far as the manufacturing process is concerned, this company takes responsibility for any related biological risks. Simultaneously, Benchmark Genetics hopes that the customers are able to take out the potential of genetics.
