AB Vickers

In early 2001 Lallemand acquired AB Vickers, one the world's leading organisations in the production and marketing of isinglass finings. Isinglass finings, fish derived collagen, are extremely effective in clarifying beer after fermentation. Many leading brewing companies use isinglass extensively throughout the world. Copper finings, another of Vickers specialities, are alginate derived and are used to aid hot and cold break in the copper or kettle. Vickers has an unrivalled experience and reputation in the visual stabilisation of beer.
