CFEED, a Norwegian producer of copepods for marine larvae, is expanding its production facility in Vanvikan, Norway. 

The company specializes in hatchery-stage live feed, producing Acartia tonsa copepods for over 15 species, including sea bream cod, grouper, seriola, seabass, tuna, and more. It made a decision two years ago to expand its production capabilities. 

The new facility is set to open on Aug. 20, after construction is completed earlier in the month.

According to CFEED, this expansion will significantly increase capacity and create new job opportunities for the local community. It will also strengthen its presence as a producer of hatchery-stage feed for marine fish larvae.

By improved technology and boosting of capacity, we can provide a safe, modern workplace for our employees while continuing to supply premium products to our customers. As part of its long-term vision, CFEED is reinforcing its position as a global leader in sustainable aquafeed solutions,” said Tore Remman, CEO of CFEED.

The company was founded in 2014. It develops and produces live feed solutions for fish hatcheries to enhance global aquaculture. 

“At CFEED, we are privileged to have the trust of our customers, who rely on our product and expertise. They recognize our continuous efforts in research and development to enhance our product quality and services. This expansion allows us to scale up production while exploring new markets to better serve our growing customer base,” said Linn Baardsgaard, sales and marketing director.

The company will have an official grand opening event on Aug. 20 and is welcoming industry partners and stakeholders, who will be able to tour the new facility on that day.
