A&O Seafood Export AS.
The company primary exports Salmon and trout, including both Atlantic and Pacific varieties, represent a significant part of our product portfolio. These are exported as whole fish (gutted with head on), fillets, blocks, and various by-products. Our products are distributed to markets throughout the Far East and across numerous European countries.
Our team brings extensive experience from all sectors of the seafood industry, including finance and banking, seafood production, and international export operations. The Managing Director began his career in the late 1980s, specializing in the financing of fishing vessels in both Oslo and Seattle.
Throughout the 1990s, he was actively involved in the family-owned company, Johan J. Helland AS, founded by his grandfather in 1946. The company played a leading role in the development of Norwegian exports of whitefish products, including fillets and whole fish, as well as cooked and peeled shrimp.
In 2001, our own company was established, focusing on both seafood production and international exports. Since 2005, the company has also served as the representative of the Embassy of Sweden in this region of Norway.
