NOVA AUSTRAL S.A.

NOVA AUSTRAL S.A. is a Chilean salmon farming and processing company based in Porvenir, in the Región de Magallanes y de la Antártica Chilena — the southernmost part of Chile, close to the Antarctic. The company describes itself as a pioneer in sustainable salmon cultivation, raising salmon in the pristine, cold Antarctic waters of the region. Its ownership is controlled by Larta Investment Group. Nova Austral produces and processes salmon and positions itself as a relevant economic and social actor for the Magallanes region and especially for the city of Porvenir. Its farming centres are located in isolated, low-temperature waters that remain stable throughout the year, conditions the company says allow it to farm salmon without antibiotics or pesticides. Nova Austral states that it is the first Chilean producer to offer antibiotic-free salmon year-round, and its official site highlights it as the only salmon company in Chile that does not use antibiotics. The company's premium salmon brand is Sixty South. The name refers to the latitude of its farming waters and is intended to evoke purity and the optimal temperature conditions of the source region. Through Sixty South, Nova Austral markets high-quality salmon to demanding international markets, and the company says it has helped strengthen the image of the Chilean industry worldwide through an innovative approach to farming in pure, intact and icy Antarctic waters. Nova Austral presents itself as a growth-oriented company with a track record of salmon farming in Chile, supported by experienced investors. Its official website includes community information, notices about certification audits such as an upcoming ASC audit of the Aracena 2 centre, and news items. The company's identity is closely tied to its extreme southern location — 'at the end of the world' — which it uses as a differentiator for premium, sustainable salmon.
