Hangana abalone

A legacy of innovation

From pioneer to market leader

Founded as a pioneering venture in Lüderitz, Hangana Abalone has evolved into Southern Africa's largest abalone ranch and Namibia's sole abalone producer. In 2017, Hangana Seafood Ltd (part of the O&L Group) invested N$40 million (N$250 million since inauguration) to transform and expand operations, rescuing the fledgling industry and securing livelihoods.

Today, we've cultivated a legacy of excellence through our fully integrated operations—from spawning, weaning and grow-out to ocean ranching, harvesting, processing and export. At our core, we're aquaculture innovators deeply committed to producing world-class abalone that empowers communities through quality, sustainability and care.

As a pioneering and forward-thinking force in Namibia's aquaculture  sector, we consistently embrace innovation while respecting our ocean environment and preserving resources.

At the heart of Hangana Abalone lies the NAMIBGOLD brand which embodies a "gold standard" in exclusivity, quality and a purely Namibian product grown in the Atlantic Ocean off Namibia’s remote desert coastline.

Guided by the O&L Persona of being Authentic, Caring and Passionate, Hangana Abalone delivers positive experiences and lasting impacts on all stakeholders. We proudly contribute to the O&L Group's Vision 2029 through technological advancement and sustainability, fulfilling our shared purpose: Creating a future, enhancing life through every abalone we produce.
