Amar Seafood has entered into an agreement to acquire an aquaculture site at Tømmervåg, Norway from Ode AS, strengthening its position within halibut farming and supporting the company’s growth ambitions in Norway.

‍

The site, which is currently idle, will be developed into a grow-out facility for halibut. Strategically located close to Amar Seafood’s existing operations in Trøndelag and Møre og Romsdal, Tømmervåg will play a key role in scaling production and optimizing the company’s overall value chain.

‍

“Tømmervåg is a strong strategic fit for us. It adds both capacity and flexibility, and supports our ambition to grow halibut production in a structured and scalable way,” says Thomas Langhelle, COO Landbased at Amar Seafood.

‍

With increasing demand for premium whitefish, halibut continues to gain momentum as a high-value species in aquaculture. Amar Seafood has positioned itself to meet this demand through a fully integrated production model and a focused approach to biological performance and operational efficiency.

‍

The Tømmervåg site offers solid infrastructure and significant development potential, enabling further expansion in line with the company’s long-term plans.

‍

As part of the development, Amar Seafood will establish a local operational team and contribute to activity and employment in the region.

‍

“To succeed at scale, we need the right locations combined with the right expertise. Tømmervåg gives us a strong platform for continued growth,” Langhelle adds.

‍

Amar Seafood will now move forward with preparations at the site and is targeting start-up and first stocking this autumn.
