About us

Although formed in 2007, Norway Pelagic is a company with long traditions. The predecessors of the company started out receiving and salting fish manually in old wharfside warehouses more than a century ago. Later, during the post-war years, big herring stocks provided a good foundation for increasing prosperity along the coast, and fish plants were established in several locations. Although the industry has subsequently undergone periods of declining fish stocks and
market crises, there have also been periods of growth and optimism characterised by investments in technology and automation. Today, the company operates nine modern industrial facilities along the Norwegian coast. In 2008, as much as 392,000 tonnes of pelagic fish were received, processed and frozen. This is approximately 35% of all fish received at Norwegian facilities for fish for human consumption. After the new company was formed, the volume of raw materials and profitability have increased. Several factors have contributed to this:
good management of fishery resources in Norwegian waters, a modern fishing fleet that delivers high-quality raw materials, skilled, motivated and enthusiastic employees and, not least, consumer demand for greater choice and healthy, high-quality products.

Norway Pelagic’s activities are based on core values that build on the company’s history and experience, and form the basis for continued growth and positive development of the business and the industry;
