Chilean oxygen generator expands into Norway
A Chilean salmon farming supplier has taken a first step towards international expansion by opening an office in Sunndalsøra, Norway.
Oxzo supplies in-situ automated pontoons which produce air and oxygen for fish farms, and has a long-term ambition to sell its products in all major salmon producing countries.
“Entering the Norwegian market with our wide range of automated technology solutions to produce oxygen, air and ozone for aquaculture at marine or terrestrial sites was an essential step in our growth plan,” said John Marcus, Oxzo’s general manager.
“Norwegian aquaculture is constantly incorporating improvements and our customised service adds great value to the production process, since increasing oxygen levels in the environment leads to an increase in production and decreases mortality levels.”
Strategic link
Oxzo’s recently appointed business development director in Norway, Svein Arve Tronsgård, has more than a decade of aquaculture experience.
“I am very happy to be able to lead Oxzo’s landing in Norway, because the diversity of services it offers is strategically coupled with the current development of the aquaculture industry in this country,” said Tronsgård.
Oxzo’s Oxymar automated on-site generation pontoons produce air and oxygen according to the needs and requirements of the user, and can be managed through an online satellite connection, which makes it possible to monitor all the environmental and operational parameters.
The Chilean company also has Oxymovil and Oxymovil Plus modular units, which Oxzo says are “innovative solutions, easy to transport, which allow their use in environmental contingencies, wellboats and health treatments, among others”.
