<\/div>\n\nApril 28, 2026, Derio (Bizkaia)<\/strong> \u2013 \u00a0<\/span>Zunibal<\/strong><\/a> is entering a new phase of growth after completing an initial cycle of transformation alongside <\/span>Nazca<\/a>, marked by the professionalization of the company, expanded capabilities, and a stronger international position. In this new phase, Nazca remains a key partner and <\/span>Blue Earth Capital<\/a> also joins in support of the company\u2019s next stage of development.

<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\nThis new phase strengthens Zunibal\u2019s ability to continue investing in technology, talent, and international expansion, building on a strong and proven position in the fisheries sector.\u00a0 Now present in more than 45 countries, Zunibal has strengthened its organisation and expanded its global team to 120 people. During this period, the company doubled its EBITDA to \u20ac12.5 million and completed three acquisitions, two of them international, consolidating a platform that is increasingly well positioned to take on new challenges and expand its impact in the Blue Economy.<\/p>\n
Zunibal\u2019s track record in serving industrial fleets has driven a natural evolution of its business model. Building on that experience, the company has developed increasingly advanced capabilities in connectivity, traceability, artificial intelligence, acoustics, software, and marine monitoring, with the aim of delivering solutions that are ever more precise, efficient, and sustainable.<\/p>\n
Over the years, Zunibal has accelerated its technological and strategic evolution through milestones that have broadened its value proposition. In 2023, the addition of Cambrian Intelligence<\/a> strengthened its capabilities in artificial intelligence applied to acoustic data, geopositioning, and oceanographic data. In 2025, the company took further steps in its international expansion with the integration of Zunibal Asia and completed the acquisition of Echoview<\/a>, an operation that strengthened its scientific and technological profile and opened up new opportunities in hydroacoustics, aquaculture, oceanography, and other areas linked to the blue economy.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\nThis process enables Zunibal to continue providing better service to the tuna fleet, with more precise solutions and more data to improve decision-making, while also applying its technological capabilities to new blue economy verticals. Looking ahead, the company will continue advancing in electronic monitoring, connectivity, software, acoustics, and intelligence applied to the marine environment, leveraging data, artificial intelligence, and satellite communications to develop to develop increasingly integrated, data-driven solutions for the marine sector.<\/p>\n
Ibone Rodriguez de Pablo, CEO of Zunibal, commented:<\/strong> “Nazca\u2019s continued support and the addition of a partner such as Blue Earth reinforce our long-term vision and ambition. We want to apply our technological capabilities, data expertise and experience in the marine environment to new challenges within the blue economy. This new chapter will allow us to continue delivering greater value to our clients, unlock new growth opportunities, and consolidate our position as a marine technology company increasingly well-placed to offer more efficient, precise and responsible solutions.<\/em>“<\/p>\n
Daniel Pascual, Partner at Nazca Capital, added:<\/strong> “Zunibal is a clear example of value creation through an organic and inorganic growth strategy at a global level. Through this continuation fund, and alongside a partner such as Blue Earth Capital, we reaffirm our commitment to the company and its management team to continue driving its development in this new chapter.”<\/em><\/p>\n
Sunit Shah, Principal, Private Equity Partnerships at Blue Earth Capital, stated:<\/strong> “Zunibal sits at the unique intersection of technology and ocean impact. Its smart floating devices, monitoring systems, and AI-driven analytics give fisheries and regulators the tools to move the fishing industry towards more sustainable practices. We are excited to partner with Nazca Capital to support the next phase of Zunibal’s growth.<\/em>“<\/p>\n
