Jan Feenstra, managing director at Mowi Ireland, is retiring from the company on July 1, 2022, after more than two decades at the helm.

Feenstra first joined the Irish operation in 1982 -- 40 years ago -- when it was called Fanad Fisheries which at that time had a 50-50 joint venture with Mowi.

He took over the leadership helm in 1997 and participated in several ownership and name changes over subsequent years.

Mowi will begin a leadership recruitment process to find a replacement early next year.
