As of 1 May 2022, Aller Aqua Group has taken over 100% of Danforel.
Headquartered in Denmark, Danforel is Europe’s largest producer of smoked trout fillets, employing around 140 employees across its six aquaculture farms. All its produce is certified by the Aquaculture Stewardship Council.
“From Aller Aqua’s side, we look forward to the new close collaboration between the companies, which will give both companies better opportunities to optimise fish farming, processing, and marketing in the future,” said Aller Aqua chief executive, Hans Erik Bylling.
“Very soon we will begin new investments in expanded fry facilities, as well as optimisation in the production. In addition, we want to ensure the optimum utilisation of the whole fish,” he continued.
Danforel’s director Erik Hansen continues as chief executive.
