Interesting development in the omega-3 business front.

basf.com

Today BASF reported acquisition of the Equateq, The Scottish company that suppose to be “domestic” Amarins supplier of the API. They are the only one who hold DMF for EPA-E (beside Nisshin, Japan), and also they have some interesting technology that BASF was interested.

Just to clarify, AMRN has zero right on technology to produce high purity EPA-E (API).

Not clear to me is BASF going after API market or Dietary Supplement. PR does not mention Amarin or high purity EPA-E at all. Also, based on yesterday CC, CEO of AMRN sounded “NONFAMILIAR” with this acquisition. Responding to few API questions he was talking about forth (domestic) supplier.

PS: Chemport (Korea, third Amarin supplier) ) also have DMF on ~90% pure EPA-E, but that is not sufficient in purity.
