What is your business activity?
Our business is the processing of seafood products from fishing ports and marine farms (fish, crustaceans, and mollusks), fresh and ultra-fresh, while preserving their integrity and packaging them as efficiently as possible, all while ensuring traceability and compliance with packaging recyclability standards.
Thanks to the performance of its facilities and recognized expertise, FILPROMER has established itself as a major player in seafood processing. The industrial site, entirely located in Cherbourg-en-Cotentin, now includes a processing facility consisting of 7 workshops spread across 3 buildings.
Who are your products and/or services aimed at?
Our products are primarily intended for foodservice professionals and retailers.
How important are innovation and research in your sector?
Innovation and research are at the heart of our sector. They have already enabled us to stand out from our competitors by offering unique solutions tailored to our customers’ needs.
In the future, innovations will continue to play a strategic role: they will improve productivity and product quality, optimize our processes, and reduce work-related strain.
They will also open up new perspectives in animal welfare, particularly during packaging and preparation phases.
These advances will help us attract more qualified and committed employees, and ensure the sustainability and sustainable development of our company.

Faced head-on with the effects of climate change, particularly during the 2022 heatwave that significantly impacted production, the company has successfully turned this challenge into a driver for innovation. To secure its operations and improve fish welfare, Saumons de France, a subsidiary of the Aquaponic Management Project (AMP) group, has completely redesigned its farming cycle.
The key innovation: adding an onshore pre-growth stage near Isigny-sur-Mer in brackish water tanks. This intermediate phase allows for a smoother transition to the sea while avoiding fish exposure during the highest-risk summer periods.
Concrete and measurable results:
- Significantly reduced mortality (from 50% to 7%)
- Hardier fish
- Improved flesh quality
- A method now being watched by major European players in the sector
Beyond this technical innovation, Saumons de France promotes a clear vision of sustainable and responsible aquaculture: low stocking density, responsible feed based on fishery by-products and French plant proteins, and a voluntarily limited production to preserve quality.
A great spotlight on our member, demonstrating that innovation, resilience, and performance can go hand in hand to serve a more sustainable industry!

What is your business?
Low-yielding wild algae are a major obstacle to growth, resulting in low competitiveness and reduced innovation. Thanks to our algorithm-driven Darwinian selection platform, we are able to naturally improve algae productivity to optimize margins by a factor of at least 1.5x. Combined with our collection of over 7,000 wild microalgae, we accelerate our clients’ innovation and differentiation. With productivity gains of 2x or more, our impact is significant. This revolutionary technology transforms the overly expensive cultivation of microalgae into a profitable activity, thus unlocking the sector’s potential.
Who are your products/services aimed at?
Our offering is aimed at microalgae producers seeking high production performance. It is also aimed at all companies using algae that want to control the source of their product for reasons of autonomy as well as competitive advantage. Finally, our offering is aimed at companies looking to diversify their product catalog or seeking R&D support around microalgae.
Why are innovation and research important in your sector?
The use of wild, weakly domesticated microalgae strains that are poorly adapted to intensive production conditions is systematically considered by industry experts as one of the main obstacles directly hindering productivity, profitability, and therefore the development of the sector. Our technology is based on over 15 years of research in partnership with Inria and the Villefranche-sur-Mer Oceanographic Laboratory. Our patented methods were developed specifically to address this issue. The Aquimer cluster, via its targeted support, accelerates our deployment through networking, support in project submission, and its backing of the microalgae sector.
