Zunibal has announced that private equity firm Nazca Capital has launched a continuation fund, thereby entering a new phase of growth, and that Blue Earth Capital is starting a collaboration as a partner in this new phase.
These moves will help the Basque company continue growing in fisheries and strengthen its position as a leading player in data-driven marine technology.
Zunibal plans to advance in electronic monitoring solutions, connectivity, software, acoustics, and intelligence applied to the marine environment. All of this will be supported by data, artificial intelligence (AI), and satellite communications.
"We want to apply our technological capabilities, data expertise, and experience in the marine environment to new challenges within the blue economy," said Ibone Rodríguez de Pablo, Managing Director of Zunibal.
Also, Daniel Pascual, partner at Nazca Capital, stated: "With this continuation fund, and together with a partner like Blue Earth Capital, we reaffirm our commitment to the company and its management team to continue driving its development in this new stage."
Finally, Zunibal will work to expand its technology and services into other areas such as aquaculture, oceanography, marine observation, environmental monitoring, and other applications related to the blue economy.
In June 2025, Zunibal celebrated its 30th anniversary, during which it doubled its EBITDA to €12.5 million. The company currently operates in more than 45 countries and has a workforce of 120 employees.
In April of the same year, the company announced the acquisition of the Taiwanese company Zong Hong Marine, which specializes in advanced satellite communication services.
Furthermore, it acquired Echoview, an Australian firm headquartered in Hobart, Tasmania, specializing in hydroacoustic science and software for fisheries management, aquaculture, and ocean research.
"This new stage will allow us to continue delivering greater value to our clients, open up new growth opportunities, and consolidate our position as a marine technology company that is increasingly prepared to provide more efficient, precise, and responsible solutions," added Rodríguez de Pablo.
