Expansion of Norwegian seafood company Vikenco’s Rindarøya processing plant capacity with tailored systems from Optimar will increase the facility’s slaughter capacity from 40,000 tonnes to 120,000 tonnes per year.
According to the two companies, the move represents a significant industry boost and reflects the increasing demand for quality seafood products in the market.
“We are very proud to be chosen as the supplier for Vikenco’s expansion of their processing facility on Rindarøy in Aukra, outside Molde. This will be a world-leading processing facility,” said Hans Owen Thunem, Vice President Sales Aqua at Optimar.
Vikenco COO Jonny Småge commented: “To maintain our position as a world leader in fish processing, we rely on strong partners like Optimar. We achieve both high quality and good fish welfare with the new slaughter lines. This makes us confident that we will reach new heights.”
