EPAX AS Renamed Epax Norway AS

EPAX AS (Aalesund, Norway) has been renamed Epax Norway AS, the company announced last week. The global supplier of omega-3 docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) oils has seen several changes over the last several months, but it insists that its industry commitment will remain the same.

EPAX introduced a new CEO in Terje Bakken this July and now holds a resource center in Hoydebygda, Norway and a recently acquired manufacturing plant in Seals Sands, United Kingdom.

EPAX was acquired by Trygg Pharma, a joint venture of Aker Biomarine (Oslo, Norway) and Lindsay Goldberg (Manhattan, NY) in late 2010.
