“We plan to have this ready before summer,” Williksen, who started as CEO of Akva on March 1, told IntraFish.
The group intends investing in core activities and core products, Williksen said.
Norwegian-owned Akva Group is Norway’s biggest supplier of technology, equipment and services to the aquaculture industry.
In Norway, two or three other large companies and between five and ten smaller players compete in this sector.
