May 24, 2024 - Smir Group has entered into a contract with Andfjord Salmon for the delivery of the waterborne feeding system Smirfeeder to their land-based facility on Andøya in Norway. The two companies will also look at the possibilities for extended cooperation around the delivery of solutions and services linked to other parts of Andfjord's production in the years ahead.
Frode Rygh, Sales Manager of Smir Group, commented "We are very proud to be chosen as supplier of feeding system to this project. Andfjord Salmon aims to build and operate the world's most sustainable fish farming facility of its kind, and it is inspiring to be able to help them to achieve this goal by using our waterborne feeding system.
"By being able to gently transport feed with different properties and structure, such as a softer pellet, we firmly believe that we can challenge existing feeding systems by delivering significantly better fish welfare
"We've had a good dialogue with Andfjord Salmon over a long period, and as we have gotten to know each other we have come to realise that we have much in common regarding the design of tomorrow's technology and services, which also includes areas other than just feed logistics. We do look forward to taking a closer look at which synergies we can collaborate on in terms of technologies and services in the coming years."
Christian Torgersen, COO of Andfjord Salmon, said "To ensure the good biological results we achieved in the Pilot and a further development of the performance, we are very pleased to have entered into a collaboration with Smir on the delivery of waterborne feeding system. We believe we have found an innovative partner who is as highly focused as we are with biological results and technological development.
"It was about finding a feeding method that was best suited to the concept and choice of feed type.
"By further developing the technology for feeding, we will also together with feed supplier Skretting, shape the future structure of pellets and its nutritional content.
"In addition we'll get all the significant benefits when it comes to matters such as low energy consumption, no microplastics and the integration to the infrastructure on land."
