Olav Holst-Dyrnes brings plenty of leadership experience within seafood and other industrial sectors, while founder Roger Hofseth will become the company's CCO.
The group, which is serving its salmon and trout at the World Economic Forum, says freezing fish at source and shipping by sea can cut emissions, reduce waste and improve quality.
The aquaculture company has started building its first full-scale closed containment units based on Ovum's "The Egg" concept, following several years of pilot trials and design work.
"Hofseth ingredients will ensure differentiation in large product categories that are craving for innovation. I look forward to helping put them into leading brands."
Marel and MMC First Process partnered in 2024 to simplify the purchase of solutions that include equipment, software, and ongoing support for aquaculture farmers.
