- Grieg Seafood ASA Grieg Seafood ASA is a Norway-based salmon farming company that specializes in the farming, production and sale of Atlantic salmon and trout; its core offerings include fresh whole salmon, freshly processed fillets and portions, frozen processed products, frozen whole fish, and value-added items such as smoked and marinated salmon through subsidiaries like Ocean Quality AS and Ocean Quality North America Inc. The company operates farming facilities primarily in Rogaland and Finnmark in Norway following the July 2025 sale of its Canadian operations in British Columbia and Newfoundland to Cermaq Group AS for NOK 10.2 billion; it also maintains a historical presence in Shetland, UK, though currently focused on Norwegian assets. Founded in 1992 and headquartered in Bergen, Norway, Grieg Seafood ASA employs around 730 people and targets North American, Asian and European markets with an emphasis on sustainable practices, including post-smolt production at facilities like Tytlandsvik Aqua, which is expanding with new halls starting construction in March 2026. Recent developments include the appointment of Piotr Wingaard as Chief Commercial Officer in October 2025 and a comprehensive transformation program launched in 2025 to reallocate resources to high-performing Norwegian sites, enhance financial flexibility via hybrid bond issuance and sale-leaseback arrangements, and optimize operational efficiency.
