Blue Genetics is a subsidiary of Groupe Grimaud, one of the world leaders in multi-species animal genetic selection, vaccines, and innovative proteins. In 2022 Blue Genetics merged with Sea Products Development, a well-established shrimp breeding company based in Texas, USA. This merger led to a consolidated company that through obvious synergies is better placed to meet the challenges of the shrimp industry. The name of the US company is now being changed into Blue Genetics USA.
