Skretting Norway has officially opened its extended fish feed plant in Averøy, Norway - the largest and most modern fish feed plant in the world.
Production continued throughout the construction process, and the facility can now produce
450,000 tons of feed per year - 12,000 tons of feed each week.
Jorulv Søbstad, plant manager, said, “We put a major effort into this project, which has taken two years to complete. In that time, nearly 600 people have visited and worked at the facility.”
“Twenty nationalities were represented during the construction,” said Hilde Roald, production manager. “This is the most comprehensive and successful project we have ever completed. We started to prepare the site two and a half years ago. More than 9,000 hours went into administration and project management and around 400,000 man-hours were invested in work on-site. It has been a challenging job for employees at the facility and not least for our 40 suppliers. They were given with a rigorous work schedule and they've stuck to the plan.”
