Fjell Technology Group fish-by-product processing
Published 22 November 2022; updated 23 March 2026; 2-minute read. Fjell Technology Group supplies equipment that processes fish heads, guts and trimmings to extract proteins and nutrients. Outputs include fishmeal ranging from human-grade quality to animal feed, and fish oils for omega-3 supplements. It also supplies equipment for recycling aquaculture sludge and municipal waste-plant sludge. The article says using more of each fish reduces processing waste, creates additional revenue and reduces waste handling and transport.
Historical context in the page: Norway produced over 400,000 tonnes of fish residual raw material in 2017 from 1.4 million tonnes of salmon and trout, and utilised over 90% of residual material. The page cites fishmeal market forecasts of USD 10 billion by 2027 and fish oil above USD 5 billion by 2026. Fjell Technology Group was established by Stord Bartz in 1980, took over production after Stord split in 2000, and developed a patented dryer design described as a market leader. Equipment had been delivered worldwide, including Iceland, Japan, Norway and Saudi Arabia.
