From our fisheries and fish farms, our 4,500 employees deliver seafood corresponding to five million meals, every single day.
Lerøy is involved in every stage of the production of salmon and trout, catch, and processing of whitefish and shellfish. In other words, we are involved not only in catches and fish farming, but we also package and process fish at our plants and distribute thousands of different seafood products to shops, restaurants, canteens and hotels - in more than 70 countries worldwide.
One important element in Lerøy Seafood Group’s strategy is to be a fully integrated supplier of the company's key products, and the business is operated, as mentioned, via a number of subsidiaries in Norway and abroad.
The Group reports within three segments:
- Farming
- Wild Catch
- VAP, Sales and Distribution.
The Group views itself as a local company with a global perspective, and shall have local roots in the locations where they have operations. This helps ensure that the Group makes a contribution in all local communities, irrespective of region and nationality.
