Where next for Norway Seafoods?

In 2005, Aker Seafoods was created from the merger of Norway Seafoods, West Fish-Aarsaether and Nordic Sea Holding.

Now six years later, the company is spinning off all its value-added processing activities into a new company called Norway Seafoods.

Very soon Norway Seafoods will no longer be a subsidiary of Aker Seafoods.

The fishing segment and value-added processing segment will therefore soon become separated from each other -- although they will have the same owners to start with at least.

Professor of Economics Terje Vassdal has kept abreast with the Norwegian fisheries and aquaculture industry for most of his adult life.
