加拿大海王星生物科技有限公司是一家主要从海洋生物中提取ω-3多不饱和脂肪酸并进行生物制品的研发、生产和销售的生物科技公司,在磷虾相关产品的研发生产上一直跻身于世界领先行列。2012年11月8日,该公司位于魁北克舍布鲁克的生产工厂发生了爆炸。由于所有的海王星磷虾油产品都是在被摧毁的工厂里生产,因此生产被中断。海王星的磷虾油产品也储备在该工厂,因此也被摧毁。爆炸发生后,海王星迅速建立了由高级管理人员和核心员工组成的五个重建委员会来协调员工救助、行动计划和业务等各个方面。具体来讲,包括人员安排和沟通、找寻战略合作伙伴和市场营销、工厂重建和财务管理,并且建立了一个战略委员会。成功的危机管理让公司逐步走出了事故的阴影,这给我国相关磷虾企业如何进行危机管理以较好启示。

The company' s R & D on krill products has been among the wodd's leading ranks. In the afternoon of November 8, 2012, an explosion and fire destroyed the production plant located in Sherbrooke, Quebec, Canada. The incident completely destroyed Neptune' s current production plant that was in operation in Sherbrooke, but damages at the expansion facility currently under construction adjacent to Neptune' s Sherbrooke plant were limited. Since all of Neptune' s krill oil products were manufactured at the plant that was destroyed, operations at the plant were disrupted. Neptune' s inventory of krill oil products was also stored at the production plant and was destroyed. Following the incident, Neptune's focus has, and continues to be, concentrated on employees and the families of those most affected by the incident, and supporting them through the tragedy. Quickly following the incident, Neptune has established five recovery committees composed of senior management and key employees to coordinate employee assistance : human resources & communications, sales & marketing, plant reconstruction, finance and a strategic committee overseeing potential strategic opportunities and coordinating the efforts of all committees.
