NEW AKVA FACILITY WILL SPUR FURTHER GROWTH

New AKVA facility will spur further growth. AKVA group’s department in Jæren (a district of western Norway) has moved into new premises in Klepp (a municipality).

“We were very happy to learn that AKVA group would remain at Jæren and not least that they chose to make Klepp municipality their new home base. Congratulations with the new building,” said the Major of Klepp municipality, Ane Mari Braut Nese.

Employees, neighbours, suppliers, customers and other invited guests were gathered for the official opening of AKVA group’s new building at Kverneland Business Park in Klepp municipality. The company moved here in the beginning of May after having outgrown its previous facilities at Bryne.  The modern premises include production facilities, warehouse, workshops and offices, and houses more than 90 employees.

“We are very happy to have a new and future-oriented building, well adapted for development of new technology, efficient production and good collaboration across departments. New and pleasant surroundings have a positive effect on the working environment and we now have room to continue growing,” says Operations Manager, Ola Hausken.

AKVA group’s department at Klepp originates from the invention of the first central feeding system for fish farming, which was released to the market in 1980. Delivery of feeding systems remains a vital part of the business at Klepp, but over the years the company has also started assembling cameras, sensors, feed spreaders and other related technology. The Klepp office also houses several group functions such as finance, sales and marketing.
