Our Mission

‘To become the world leader in sheep breeding technologies’

Our people

Our staff are a key ingredient in Innovis’ success. Our teams of veterinary specialists, technical staff and consultants deliver consistent, high quality breeding services – be they on-farm or on-centre.

Our pedigree

A spin-out company from Aberystwyth University, Innovis was established in 2004. Innovis quickly established a track record for the successful delivery of both government contracts and customer-focused commercial activity which enabled its portfolio of products and services to be expanded to embrace a range of species and for these to be delivered from a geographic base which now encompasses the whole of the UK and Ireland. Since 2007 Innovis has applied all of its technological expertise and experience to generate a selection of maternal and terminal lines that are suited to meet the individual needs and requirements of the modern sheep farmer.

Our Centres

Innovis’ headquarters are in Aberystwyth, Mid Wales from where we also operate our centralised administration.
