Colpex International SAC

Our history began in the mid-nineties and since then we have built two production units and a logistics site, strategically located along Peruvian coastline within the ports of Supe and Chimbote; along a corporate office, based in Lima.

COLPEX SUPE REFINERY:
Our Supe Refinery is where our semi-refined, fully refined and concentrated fish oil ethyl esters are produced. It has an 11,000MT fish oil tank farm, several production buildings that house the refining and molecular distillation production lines, processing aids, packing material and finished products designated warehouses, a laboratory, and an office area.

This plant is HACCP & GMP, Marine Trust, Friends of the Sea, MSC and ISO 9001 certified and it is also compliant with the latest FDA Food Safety Modernization Act requirements. It is inspected on annual bases by our official health authority (Sanipes) and it was also audited by the US Food and Drug Administration in April 2018, and found compliant to CFR 111 Dietary Supplements cGMPs.

The products made at this site include semi refined, fully refined and concentrated fish oils for food and dietary supplements applications, as well as starting materials for pharmaceutical and clinical nutrition applications.

To date, our refinery has produced and exported over 45,000MT of refined and concentrated fish oils to the dietary supplements and pharmaceutical industries worldwide.


COLPEX CHIMBOTE PORT TERMINAL:
Our company also owns and operates a Port Terminal, located in Chimbote, the main Peruvian fishing port. This facility is an official customs warehouse from which both Colpex and local fisheries load and export fish oils in bulk (tanker vessels).

Our Port Terminal is MarineTrust, GMP+ and ISO 9001 certified. It has a 16,000MT tank farm, a multi-buoy berth, and it is also home to our tank trucks fleet. All of its operations are dedicated only and exclusively to fish oils.

To date, our Port Terminal has served 189 tanker vessels and loaded over 1,000,000MT of crude fish oil at its multi-buoy berth.
