Mowi Scotland plans to increase its processing capacity in the United Kingdom, either through the expansion of existing sites or the construction of a new plant in Scotland, the company said.

According to Ewan MacColl, operations director at Mowi Scotland, the company’s Blar Mhor processing facility, in Fort William, will soon reach its maximum capacity, and will be supported by higher volumes in the plant in Donegal.

The company plans to open a consultation process with stakeholders to consider all the available options and decide how to increase its capacity in the country.
