Grieg Seafood ASA is one of the world's leading salmon farmers, specializing in Atlantic salmon. The Group has a production target of 100 000 tonnes gutted weight in 2020. Our farming facilities are in Finnmark and Rogaland in Norway, British Columbia in Canada and Shetland in the UK. Approximately 780 people are employed by the Group. Grieg Seafood ASA was listed at the Oslo Stock Exchange in June 2007. Our headquarters are situated in Bergen, Norway. The business development of Grieg Seafood ASA focuses on profitable growth, sustainable use of resources and being the preferred supplier to selected customers. The Grieg Seafood ASA owns fish-licenses for production of salmon and trout. The Company also owns hatcheries for the production of smolts, as well as harvest and processing plants. Finnmark is in the northernmost part of Continental Europe, where Norway swings eastward. In the midst of wild and majestic scenery with steep mountains and icy fjords, the conditions are ideal for growing healthy fish of exceptional quality. Operations in Finnmark were established in 1978 by Norwegian fish-farming pioneer Harald Volden. In 2006 the Volden Group merged with Grieg Seafood and was renamed Grieg Seafood Finnmark. Grieg Seafood Finnmark now includes a smolt hatchery and 24 licensed sites, complete with harvesting and freezing facilities at four clusters in different regions of Western Finnmark. The distance between production clusters forms a natural barrier to the transfer of disease and therefore represents a lower overall biological risk in Finnmark. Grieg Seafood Finnmark owns and operates the northernmost fish farm in the world, close to the North Cape. Our facilities in Finnmark enjoy the shortest export route to Russia in Norwegian fish farming, including the major cities of Moscow and St. Petersburg. Most of our production is exported to the EU, Russia and Asia. The company employs about 200 people.
