For over 170 years, EPAX AS has developed and produced marine-based oils for human nutrition. Headquartered in Norway at the tip of a glacially carved fjord, we’ve always depended upon the sea for our livelihood. As a result, we’ve developed a respect and reverence for all things marine.

Our long-lasting relationship with the sea has fostered a deep commitment to the health of our oceans. During the past two centuries, we have assumed an increasingly active environmental stewardship role. As we've grown to become a leading global supplier of marine Omega-3 EPA/DHA oils, our responsibilities and commitments have also become global in nature. Our global perspective has led to an environmental stewardship approach that entails forging and upholding practices and processes designed to sustain the worldwide health of the ecological marine systems on which our human health relies.
