Norwegian and Chilean aquaculture suppliers link up

Salmon farming equipment supplier Fluctus has signed a commercial agreement with Chilean company ITG for the sale of the company’s products in Chile. Fluctus will also be able to sell ITG’s products on the Norwegian market.

“We are experiencing a great deal of interest in our products, especially water feeding, from Chilean producers,” said Fluctus chief executive Harald Lien.

“ITG is a company with good experience and solid relationships in the market. They have more than 20 years of experience delivering technology and service to the industry, both nationally and internationally, and we are sure that they will represent our products in a good way.

“They provide us with the local expertise and proximity needed to provide customers with the best solutions. At the same time, ITG have an interesting product portfolio of cameras, sensors and nanobubble oxygenation that will be available to our customers in Norway.”

Claudio Chanceaulme, general manager of ITG Chile, said: “This agreement allows us to expand our offer of products and solutions that aim at sustainable production, consolidating us as a comprehensive supplier in the local industry and a versatile and reliable business partner.”

Fluctus will be present at the ITG booth at the Aqua Sur aquaculture trade show in Chile this month, and ITG will be present at the Fluctus booth at HavExpo in Bergen, Norway, in May.

Fluctus supplies water-borne and blown feeding systems, feed barges, spreaders, software, feed silos, ensilage and service/maintenance.
