Fall in sales of aquaculture equipment, services

The association Havbruksleverandorene has 31 member companies. They represent an estimated 80 percent of the total sales of aquaculture industry equipment from Norway.

Last year, association members had a combined turnover of NOK 2.140 billion (€272.5 million/$334.1 million), but in 2010 they are expecting to recover to the 2008-level. That year, sales totaled NOK 2.480 billion (€315.8 million/$387.1 million).

That’s according to an e-mail sent to IntraFish by Kjell Tommeraas. He is the spokesman for Havbruksleverandorene, formerly Norske Leverandorer til Havbruksnæringen (NLTH).
