Smir secured a significant contract in water feeding

Smir has partnered with a leading aquaculture company for the delivery of the water feeding system, Smirfeeder. It will be installed at two locations in production area 6 (PO6) of Norway, and will be capable of supplying feed to up to 12 pens rigged for deep-water operation.

According to the Norwegian online media iLaks.no, Smir Sales Manager, Frode Rygh confirmed it has been a seamless process leading to the agreement. He said it is gratifying to be able to contribute to streamlining the customer's feeding process while ensuring a solution that contributes to more sustainable salmon production for years to come.

For his part, in the same article, Smir's CEO, Øyvind Nymark, acknowledged that this is a very important agreement for the company, noting that it is a new customer for them in this field that has shown confidence in both their technical solutions and the team's expertise.

He also stated that this agreement can be seen as a starting point of a long collaboration not only in the feed strategy but also in the green shift strategy where, he believes, water feeding will play a significant role in the future.

Likewise, he noted that Smir is well positioned as a supplier of equipment and services to help its customers in another early-stage industry, deep-water operation.

Smirfeeder™ is a waterborne feeding system designed for efficient and gentle transport of feed between silos and aquaculture tanks. It can be used for both, standard sinking pellets, as well as for the future use of floating pellets.

A couple of weeks ago, the aquaculture technology and service provider acquired the service and diving company KB-Gruppen. This acquisition allows the investment in submersible pen systems and will strengthen the capacity and flexibility of its fleet.
