Our goal is to make Andøy an attractive place to work and live

In the surrounding areas of Andøy, there is a well-developed industry for salmon farming with an already established infrastructure. We benefit from excess capacity and competence through local partnerships throughout the value chain, which allows for a fully integrated business structure ranging from smolt production to end customer.
