“I am pleased to be able to celebrate the ground breaking ceremony after establishing the company in 2015. By this facility, we are bringing knowhow from Norwegian salmon farming closer to the end customers. As we will be producing in a huge market as the Japanese, we are saving both the environment and cost. We will also be able to present to the market the highest quality and unique freshness, harvested the same day” -
— Mr Joachim Nielsen, CEO of Proximar Seafood
Immediately after the Ceremony, a press conference was held. Ambassador Nyhamar said, "We have 35 years of experience in exporting fresh salmon from Norway to Japan. At the end of that, we are very pleased that Norwegian companies will take on the challenge of land-based farming using state-of-the-art technology."
