Laksesystemer secures international agreements in South Korea, Iceland, and Japan. The Norwegian company Laksesystemer has recently signed agreements to deliver feeding technology to land-based fish farming facilities in South Korea, Iceland and Japan. This marks a significant milestone for the company, which specialises in gentle and efficient feed transportation tailored to modern land-based and closed fish farming systems.
Among the clients is Mirae Aqua Farm in South Korea, a company currently constructing a land-based salmon farming facility in Pohang on Korea’s east coast. Once completed, the facility will have the capacity to produce 10,000 tons of salmon, says Suhyung Cho, CEO of Mirae Aqua Farm.
“We have invested significant time in preparations and in finding competent suppliers and partners for our project, and we are excited to collaborate with Laksesystemer,” says Cho.
“We are experiencing strong international interest in our solutions from players investing in land-based fish farming. Our technology is developed with a focus on operational reliability, and we have systems that enable us to provide remote assistance to customers worldwide efficiently. This means our clients always have access to Norwegian expertise to help optimise their facilities and production,” says Ole Gabriel Kverneland, CEO of Laksesystemer.
“Additionally, the systems are designed for maximum precision and reduced feed waste, which is crucial for success in land-based RAS production,” Kverneland adds.
Knowledge Sharing Between Norway and South Korea
In June, Laksesystemer participated in a knowledge exchange programme between Norway and South Korea, organised by Innovation Norway. The programme focused on sharing experiences and technology related to land-based aquaculture.
“The programme provided valuable insight into the South Korean market and strengthened our collaboration with local stakeholders. This has been an important part of our establishment in the region,” says Kverneland.
Increasing Demand for Norwegian Technology and Expertise
While the new resource rent tax in Norway has created uncertainty within the aquaculture industry and its associated supplier sector, Laksesystemer sees a growing international focus on sustainable and efficient solutions for land-based aquaculture.
The new agreements with customers in South Korea, Iceland, and Japan reinforce Laksesystemer’s position as a provider of Norwegian-developed technology for the future of aquaculture.
