Nor-Mær

Nor-Mær manufactures aquaculture installations, including holding cages (ventemerder), environmental cage systems with hinged galvanised steel pens, sorting facilities for broodstock, and concrete feed barges of 100 to 600 tonnes. Services include an in-house service department, an annual inspection agreement with a report, and specialist work such as hinge replacement and conversions of steel installations.

Customers are fish farming operators, and the company sells its installations to them. For deliveries within Norway, the Faroe Islands and Scotland, most assembly takes place at the quay in Bergen and the facilities are transported by boat. Other countries receive the installations in containers, with assembly done at the delivery site.

Nor-Mær was founded in 1990 and is registered in Norway; its headquarters are in Hagavik, and its production department is at Os in Bjørnafjorden municipality, about 25 minutes south of Bergen, where all its facilities are built. The website states that the first Nor-Mær facility was produced in 1986. The company cooperates on research and testing with SINTEF and Aquastructures.
