Private equity-backed marine health player Akerblaa acquired Norwegian engineering firm Kystplan to build a stronger organization to meet the needs of the current aquaculture industry, including fish health and fish welfare.

Prior to the acquisition, Kystplan was owned by three employees. The company posted a NOK 7 million (€642,000/$755,000) turnover in 2019.

Kystplan has offices in Brekstad, Hitra and Froya, and Steinkjer in Namsos.

Akerblaa -- backed by Broodstock Capital -- is headquartered in Trodelag, with 20 other branch offices in Norway.
