Nordic Trout

Previously, the name "Nordic Trout" was "lands Fiskförädling" (FF).The small island municipality of Föglö, which is a part of the land Islands, saw the start of the business at the end of the 1970s.The small family business began to expand quickly.Harry Sjöblom, the company's founder and primary owner, began purchasing wild Baltic herring and other species from professional fishers in the area and selling them forward when he was a young boy. Harry, a skilled businessman, realized that fish farming was the way to go once the natural catches of fish decreased. At the time, there was already a growing demand for salmonids in Finland. Since then, this trend has continued in Finland, the Nordic countries, Europe, and all over the world.

In the 1980s and early 1990s, in particular, the business opened new production facilities and acquired smaller, operational businesses that wanted to shut down for a variety of reasons.Small businesses struggled to succeed as a result of increased competition and a variety of government regulations and requirements.At this point, FF was already Finland's top producer of farmed edible fish. The company also started doing business in Sweden at the beginning of the 2000s.Surveys indicate that many water areas in Sweden are suitable for fish farming, and the country also has a relatively large market potential. The company is currently Sweden's largest fish farmer.

All shares were sold to the Finnish aquaculture company Taimen Oy in autumn 2006.Taimen Oy is one of the oldest fish industry businesses in Finland, having been established in 1964.It raises fish in the archipelago of Southwest Finland and Central Finland.

The Hukkanen family of Finland made the decision in October 2015 to expand into fish farming.The Hukkanen family, which owns Kalaneuvos Oy, founded Nordic Fish Oy and acquired all of Taimen Group's shares, effectively transferring FF to this Finnish family business. Nordic Trout Ab and Nordic Trout Sweden AB were given to the business in 2017.Through their business, Kalaneuvos Oy, the Sastamala family has been involved in the fish industry for a long time. They process, wholesale, import, and export fish.Established in 1975 and situated in Sastamala and Turku, Kalaneuvos Oy is a Finnish trailblazer in its industry. The operations of the fish farming company support Kalaneuvos Oy's strategy, which states that the company strives for growth, particularly by providing customers with fresh rainbow trout in its various forms.
