Operations in Finnmark were established in 1978 by Norwegian fish farming pioneer Harald Volden. His company, Volden Group, soon became one of the most profitable fish farming companies in Norway. In November 2006, Volden Group was merged with Grieg Seafood, and today the Volden family has a significant ownership stake in Grieg Seafood ASA.

Grieg Seafood Finnmark owns and operates the northernmost fish farm in the world, close to the North Cape. Our facilities in Finnmark enjoy the shortest export route to Russia in Norwegian fish farming, including the major cities of Moscow and St. Petersburg. Almost all our Norwegian production is exported, and our most important markets today are the EU, Russia, Japan, China, as well as Ukraine, Taiwan and Korea.

Grieg Seafood’s well known trademark Blue Silver™ originates from Finnmark.

GSF Finnmark produces salmon and trout based on 24 growout licences, complete with harvesting and freezing facility, in addition to 1 smolt production facility. We employ about 150 people.
