Marels pin-bone removal ready to install
Processing companies in the North Atlantic are facing stiff competition from countries with abundant, low-cost labour. World Fishing turned to Lá¡rus Ásgeirsson, senior director of sales and marketing at Marel Iceland, a major processing machinery supplier, to see how companies can better adapt to such challenges. Marel is working with the industry to help it to adapt to a situation where the only way to compete is by reducing labour costs through automation and, last but not least, to increase the yield. He says that in China, where labour costs are very low, processing companies can obtain a higher yield than those in the North Atlantic.
