FF Skagen, which produces around 100,000 tonnes of fishmeal and fish oil annually, is facing down the competition in the industrial fish sector with a planned DKK85 million investment in production systems, replacing six older production lines with four new ones.
Production manager Lars Uldal said that this will give FF Skagen a strong competitive advantage, with more effective facilities to extract value from every kilo of sandeel and sprat landed, in turn making it possible to provide a better price to vessels landing to the factory.
The investment is expected to pay for itself relatively quickly, with higher quality, energy savings and significantly reduced drying times that translate into an improved bottom line.
Investment in laboratory facilities is also part of the package, as animal feed manufacturers buying FF Skagen’s production want the highest quality.
