The Nordlaks Group had sales of NOK 3.6 billion and delivered a total annual profit after tax of NOK 786 million. The group’s total turnover has grown from NOK 2.7 billion in 2020 to NOK 3.6 billion in 2021. Good salmon prices have helped, but behind the turnover record is also an increase in production.
– Nordlaks has grown steadily since its establishment in 1989, but the last few years have been special. In 2021, we were 700 employees who produced almost 3,000 tonnes of juvenile fish on land, 48,000 tonnes of salmon in the fish farming business and there were almost 85,000 tonnes of raw material at the factory on Børøya. We are now beginning to see the results of a huge effort from our employees over time, which translates investments in new technology into larger and improved production, says CEO Eirik Welde in Nordlaks.
