Icelandic equipment manufacturer Marel delivered its sixth FleXicut processing machine in the North America market earlier this year. Since then, two machines have been sold to Canadian companies and the rest to US-based companies on both coasts.
The machines were all sold for whitefish processing, Magnus Olason, Marel's sales business manager, told IntraFish.
While salmon processing equipment has been a revenue leader for Seattle-based Marel's North America division, over the past three years, the company has also been making inroads to improve its whitefish processing capacities, he said.
