Mowi operates along the entire coast, from Flekkefjord in the south to Kvænangen in the north.

Our four core values
Our people
At Mowi, our goal is to produce nutritious and delicious seafood of the highest quality. We supply a fifth of global demand for farmed Atlantic salmon, and we're driven by continuous innovation and a commitment to producing salmon in an increasingly sustainable way.
Our employees play a key role in Mowi's operations. Our dedicated staff take pride in driving change and developing new technology for the future. From farming to sales and marketing, it's our committed team that makes Mowi a world leader in sustainable aquaculture.
Mowi places great emphasis on openness, sharing, trust and transparency. This gives every employee the opportunity to contribute in key areas across the business and to grow professionally. It's the effort and dedication we bring to everything we do and produce that is the decisive factor in our success. Together, we are stronger.
Sustainability and community
Mowi tops an international sustainability ranking of 60 companies. For the fifth year running, Mowi has been ranked the most sustainable producer of animal protein by the "Coller FAIRR Protein Producer Index". All five of our facilities in Flekkefjord are ASC-certified – the strictest standard for responsible and sustainable salmon production, with seven principles for sustainability designed to protect the environment, biodiversity, water resources and good working conditions.
Mowi plays a significant role both locally and regionally. Every year we invest around NOK 100 million locally in Flekkefjord/Agder by purchasing goods and services from numerous local businesses. This includes everything from local shops, plumbers, carpenters and electricians to divers, work-clothing suppliers, hotels, catering, transport and equipment suppliers, as well as both wild-caught and farmed cleaner fish. Our support for local businesses is a key part of our commitment to strengthening and enriching the local community.
