Carsoe maintains that when it comes to delivering onboard processing solutions, strong relationships are just as important as the latest factory innovations

Alongside its land-based processing and freezing solutions, Aalborg, Denmark-headquartered Carsoe has become a leader in the provision of onboard fish and shellfish processing equipment. It’s a sector that it became fully-invested in almost 10 years ago with the summer 2013 acquisition of bankrupt Carnitech’s seafood activities.

It’s a move that has paid off. After two years’ mainly conducting overhauls and refits on small vessels, Carsoe took some strategic steps with regards to advancing this new business area and capitalising on the expertise that existed within the former Carnitech team. Today, alongside its considerable Danish operations, the company has also built a strong business in Seattle to support the North American fleets, while its UK and Norwegian production facilities specialise in plate-freezers and palletising and packaging technologies, respectively.

Since 2015, with the core strategy to be a complete factory supplier, it has ensured that the business incorporates as many of the components that such a plan requires, explained Carsoe Group Sales Director Jeppe Christensen.
