Collabit Story

Collabit was founded by Michella (Tuna Girl) and Adrian (Chemist Boy). Michella, with a family legacy in Bitung’s fishing industry, champions social impact and ocean preservation. Adrian, an expert in biotechnology, returned from the Netherlands to Indonesia to utilize local resources. Their collaboration combined fishing industry knowledge and biotech expertise with circular economy principles, to develop Collabit’s marine biotech solutions for Indonesia.

Collabit Mission

Collabit was born in Bitung, the tuna capital of Indonesia, in 2019 with a clear vision: 100% fish utilization, ensuring every tuna is transformed into its highest potential. Since our official incorporation in 2023, we have expanded our processing capabilities to produce collagen, fish peptides, and protein hydrolysates for food; biostimulants for feed; and organic fertilizers, while continuing to develop new marine-based innovations. By prioritizing quality and purity, Collabit creates products that deliver genuine health benefits and support daily nutrition needs.

Through a circular economy approach, Collabit is reimagining the tuna industry in Eastern Indonesia by ensuring each tuna from Bitung is fully utilized to its maximum value. This sustainable and profitable model enables the industry to diversify, increase efficiency, and elevate the value of tuna resources while promoting ocean stewardship.

Our biotech extraction processes are designed to meet the unique infrastructure challenges of SEA archipelagos. By combining biotechnology and engineering, we create value-added marine ingredients such as fish peptides, which support agriculture, aquaculture, and economic growth for coastal communities. In doing so, we strengthen nutrition security and empower local livelihoods.
