The QRILL Company

The QRILL Company (Aker QRILL Company) harvests Antarctic krill and develops krill-based ingredients. Its QRILL Aqua brand offers meals and oils used as functional ingredients in feed for farmed fish and shrimp, and its QRILL Pet brand offers whole-krill ingredients for petfood and pet supplements.

Its customers are aquaculture feed and pet food manufacturers, and the company also refers to nutraceutical applications for human health. The company describes its value chain as running from harvesting in Antarctic waters to a logistics hub in Montevideo, Uruguay, which supports delivery to customers worldwide.

The company was founded in 2006 and was part of Aker BioMarine until September 2024, when it was spun out with American Industrial Partners and Aker Capital as owners. Its open job listings are for vessel roles based in Ålesund, Norway, including factory, deck, engineering and quality positions.
