Vélfag has concluded an agreement with leading Norwegian farmed cod producer Ode to deliver its UNO fish processing system. This expansion into the farmed cod sector represents a significant milestone for Vélfag, opening new opportunities in this growing market.
‘We are excited to partner with ODE and bring our UNO technology to the farmed cod industry. This agreement marks a significant milestone as we expand our reach into new markets, offering cutting-edge solutions that improve efficiency and quality,’ said Vélfag’s CEO Trausti Árnason.
‘The UNO machine’s ability to streamline processing and reduce labour while maintaining top-tier quality aligns perfectly with our commitment to innovation and sustainability in the seafood industry.’
He commented that Vélfag’s UNO processing system simplifies processing and ensures top-quality results.
Multiple process steps in compact footprint, incorporating filleting, pin bone removal, skinning, and heading, all of which optimises yield, quality and utilisation of by-products. The user-friendly control system ensures precise processing, maximised yield and product quality.
‘This agreement with Ode is a clear testament to Vélfag’s commitment to advancing fish processing technology and meeting the evolving demands of the aquaculture industry,’ he said.

‘Our partnership with Vélfag is a key step in advancing the farmed cod industry. Installing the UNO line in our factory at Vartdal allows us to optimise efficiency while ensuring the highest product quality, which is essential as we scale our operations and invest in local fish processing and activity in our local community,’ said Ode CEO Ola Kvalheim.
‘We are committed to innovation at every stage of cod farming. Partnering with Vélfag and integrating their cutting-edge UNO technology helps us streamline processing and maximize yield – while also providing a platform for further innovation in byproducts utilisation and value creation.’
