Oslo, January 31, 2025 – Maiken Foods AS, headquartered at Caspar Storms vei 16, Oslo, has signed an agreement with Atlantic Sapphire Denmark AS to lease their land-based fish farming facility in Langsand, 6960 Hvide Sande, Denmark. Additionally, Maiken Foods has secured an option to purchase 100% of the shares in Atlantic Sapphire Denmark AS.
A Milestone for Maiken Foods
“This marks the beginning of our own project with proprietary technology,” says Arve Gravdal, CEO of Maiken Foods AS.
“During the first half of the year, we will demonstrate that we can achieve stable growth of large salmon all the way to market size. Our method combines the best aspects of traditional net-pen technology with the benefits of land-based production while eliminating the biological and environmental challenges associated with both approaches.”
A New Standard in Aquaculture Technology
Maiken Foods has developed innovative and cost-effective technology that ensures low fish densities and reduces biological risks. A newly developed water treatment unit simplifies recirculating technology. “We have reduced investment costs by approximately two-thirds compared to traditional recirculating systems,” explains Gravdal. “This allows us to lower fish densities accordingly while maintaining a sustainable economy.” Another advantage is that the fish tanks operate independently of one another, preventing disease spread and allowing for new, flexible farming strategies.
The Road Ahead
When the first tank is operational this spring, Maiken Foods plans to invite investors to a demonstration of the technology. At the same time, the company will seek binding bids for tanks of various sizes. The goal is to document stable, high-quality production and prove that large-scale land-based salmon farming is both feasible and sustainable.
A Solution for the Future
The technology meets modern standards for sustainability, fish welfare, and environmental responsibility—factors that both green investment funds and traditional funds now prioritize.
