For Laxey, the partnership with German-based Baader is important in securing equipment and production technology, which the fish farmer said will support its plans for high-quality products for the global market.
Kristmann Kristmannsson, Project Manager for Processing and Procurement, said: “We are excited about this partnership with Baader, which is at the forefront of technology solutions for the marine industry.
“This agreement can lay the foundation for a successful collaboration, and we expect that this will be the beginning of a successful relationship that will contribute to promoting the Icelandic land farming industry.”
Karl Ásgeirsson, Baader’s Sales Manager in Iceland, added: “We are proud to participate in this important project with Laxey. Our equipment will ensure that they can meet the strict demands made for quality in production in the international market.”
Laxey said Baader, a German based global company developing and manufacturing equipment for salmon processing, is known for solutions designed with production quality and animal welfare in mind. This approach , the company said, makes Baader a good partner for Laxey which focuses on responsible food production while meeting the demands of customers around the world.
