Visit a processing plant for salmon

Join a tour of a modern processing plant for salmon and see the process from slaughter to finished product.

After time in the hatchery and out in the cages at sea, the salmon comes to the factory by well-boat. There you can join us at one of the country's newest and largest salmon factories. This is one of Hitra's largest workplaces, and with many nationalities represented among the employees, it can serve as a good starting point for discussing the island region's large growth over the past decade.

Inside the factory on Jøsnøya, we see how the fish are pumped in from the well-boat. We follow the production line further to the finished fillet in boxes ready for export. Our tour guide will give you good insight into modern salmon production, where digitization and automation are important keywords in a high-cost country like Norway.

We look at how workplaces have changed over time, when the fillet knife was replaced in favor of monitoring machines. Many of the farms in the area are also fed from Jøsnøya, how do they do it and why? You will get the answer from our skilled guides when you join us to the factory.
