Seafood Export AS.
The company is today exporting mainly: Frozen whitefish as Cod, Haddock, Saithe, Redfish, Greenland halibut, Catfish and redfish from Norway, as whole fish (H&G) and fillets. Salmon and trout (Atlantic and Pacific) are also main products as whole fish (gutted & head on), fillets, blocks and by-products, and are exported to Far East, and many European countries.
Our staff has long experience from the fish industry, both from financing/banking, production and the last years strictly as an exporter. Managing director has worked with financing of fishing vessels in Oslo and Seattle in the late 80s. During the whole 90s the business was whitefish (export of fillets and whole fish) in the family business, Johan J. Helland AS (founded by my grandfather in 1946). This company was a major actor in developing export of whitefish and cooked & peeled shrimps from Norway. In 2001 own business was established, both production and exporting.
