Mowi has followed the NTS Group for several years and is impressed by how the employees, management team and owners have developed the NTS Group into one of the leading producers of Atlantic salmon in Norway and Iceland.<\/p>\n

\u201cNTS\u2019s geographical footprint and competent organisation fit unusually well with Mowi\u2019s current operations and strategy,\u201d said Ivan Vindheim, chief executive of Mowi.<\/p>\n

\u201cTogether we can maintain and create new jobs and further develop competence clusters along the Norwegian coastline for the benefit of local communities,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

From a strong foundation in central Norway, the NTS Group has grown into a fully integrated salmon farmer, producing 84,000 gutted weight tonnes (GWT) across Norway and Iceland. The NTS Group also holds 7.7 development licences in Arctic Offshore Farming, and the aqua service company Fr\u00f8y.<\/p>\n

Last summer NTS successfully outbid Mowi (and SalMar) to acquire SalmoNor, which is now the subject of another takeover<\/a> by Norway Royal Salmon.<\/p>\n

The offer is for all shares in NTS, currently valued at NOK 13.8 billion (\u20ac1.36 billion). The complete details of the offer will, if launched, be sent to NTS shareholders following review and approval by Oslo Stock Exchange. SpareBank 1 Markets is acting as financial advisor to Mowi.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
