- Mowi ASA Mowi ASA produces and supplies Atlantic salmon and other seafood products worldwide as the largest producer of farm-raised salmon by volume and revenue. The fully integrated company operates across the value chain, including salmon genetics, feed production, freshwater and seawater farming, primary and secondary processing, and sales and marketing to retail, Horeca, and industry segments in over 70 countries; its core offerings encompass whole fish, plain or marinated fillets and steaks, hot- and cold-smoked salmon, burgers, tartars, and value-added coated products from salmon and whitefish species. Headquartered in Bergen, Norway, and founded in 1964, Mowi ASA employs about 11,500 people across 26 countries with major farming and processing operations in Norway (its largest region), Scotland, Ireland, the Faroe Islands, Iceland, Canada, Chile, and the United States. The company provides approximately 8 million salmon-based meals daily and holds a global market share of around 20% in Atlantic salmon. In 2025, Mowi ASA completed the acquisition of a controlling 95% stake in Nova Sea AS, a leading salmon farmer in Northern Norway, for NOK 7.4 billion in a mix of cash and shares after receiving approvals from the EU Commission and Norwegian competition authorities; this strategically enhances its position in one of the world's best salmon farming regions, boosts expected 2025 harvest volumes to 597,000 tonnes (including 372,000 tonnes in Norway), and delivers preliminary annual synergies of NOK 400 million through improved capacity utilization, biological performance, and fish health.
