“It was an eventful year to say the least. Even in the face of Covid-19-related challenges in 2020, our business continued as usual thanks to the relentless efforts and dedication of our global team. We grew our top line by 17%, and we managed to onboard new customers and enter new markets amidst pervasive travel restrictions. I am pleased to see the scalability of Aker BioMarine’s business model coming to life, with a 2020 adjusted EBITDA growth of 47%. Despite the challenges and curveballs thrown at us in 2020, Aker BioMarine delivers strong financial numbers for the year, giving me great optimism for a promising and innovation-filled future,” said Matts Johansen, CEO of Aker BioMarine.
