Norwegian salmon and trout farmer Firda Seafood signed a contract with seafood software developer Maritech for sales and traceability digital tools integrated with packing.

“Firda's growth and their achievements are highly impressive, also beyond seafood," Maritech Sales Manager Johan Petter Loe said.

The contract may possibly extend with DGS Analytics.

Firda is currently expanding its packaging company, Martin E. Birknes in Byrknesoy, Norway, in a bid to take a share of larger Asian markets.

The facility, which includes filleting, freezing and warehouse operations, will have the capacity to receive 250 metric tons of trout per day, while the filleting facility will initially produce 50 metric tons of finished fillets per day.

The group also announced plans to build a 6,000 metric ton capacity hatchery to grow its salmon up to one kilo on land before releasing into sea cages.
