Mathias Bjorge and Marel partner to build one of the world's most advanced salmon factory

Over the past one and a half years, Marel has been working on a major advancement for the Sunnmøre company.

’’At the heart of the factory, we will develop an intelligent distribution center that analyzes the raw material. The fish will be automatically distributed and sorted based on the data it collects. This will be the most advanced salmon processing line ever developed, explains Hans Marius Martinsen,’’ Sales Manager at Marel.

The experience gained from the project will pave the way for future salmon factories worldwide.

Mathias Bjørge is preparing for two shifts and is aiming to go from 15 to 60 employees in production.

’’Our history dates back to 1962, so we have a long tradition of high-quality seafood. The reception our salmon has received in the market is the result of many years of hard work. We can’t wait to open the new factory and produce our own fresh and frozen salmon fillets, in addition to frozen salmon portions locally,’’ says co-owner Henning Bjørge.
