About Us · Established 2015

Hirtshals. At the Gateway to Your Markets.

Skagerak Processing A/S was established on 30 June 2015. Based at Herluf Trollesvej 14 in Hirtshals, Denmark, we provide dedicated salmon processing services for customers in the seafood industry.

Our factory's unique location in Hirtshals connects fish arriving from Norway, Iceland and the Faroe Islands with efficient processing and onward transport.

With direct ferry connections from Iceland and the Faroe Islands and access to Norwegian supply routes, processing close to arrival avoids unnecessary transport of whole fish before filleting.

Direct from the Harbour

A short transfer from the ferry terminal to our factory keeps the route from arrival to processing simple.

More Time for Freshness

Processing in Hirtshals avoids a long road journey before filleting and helps preserve valuable time for onward delivery.

Less Weight on the Road

Sending finished fillets onward instead of whole fish reduces the weight of heads, bones and trimmings transported to distant processing sites.
