Faroese fishing and aquaculture gear specialist Vónin is consolidating its presence in Scotland as Mørenot Scotland becomes Vónin UK Ltd, trading as Vónin Scotland.
According to Vónin CEO Hjalmar Petersen, this strategic step is a significant boost to Vónin’s already strong presence in the Scottish aquaculture market and underscores the company’s deep commitment to this vital industry.
‘As specialists in manufacturing and servicing nets and moorings for aquaculture, Mørenot Scotland has been a prominent name in the region, and now, as Vónin Scotland, it’s set to reach new heights,‘ Hjalmar Petersen said.
‘This takeover marks a landmark moment in our history. We have steadily grown our presence in Scotland, emerging as a key supplier in the local aquaculture industry. With Vónin Scotland, we’re not just consolidating our position but also gearing up to bring even more innovation and excellence to the market.’
He commented that Mørenot Scotland, with its operations in Scalloway in Shetland and Scalpay on the Hebrides, and a dedicated team of 28 staff, perfectly reflects Vónin’s ethos of delivering exceptional quality and service.
‘Becoming part of Vónin opens fantastic new opportunities. The combination of Vónin’s strong market reputation and our local know-how is a powerful one. We’re looking forward to an exciting future and achieving great things together,’ said Vónin Scotland’s managing director David Goodlad.
Since its founding in 1969 in the Faroe Islands, Vónin has grown from local roots into a major presence in aquaculture and fishing, with a reputation for its high-quality products tailored for challenging conditions.
