Smart solutions for pelagic fish processing

Species

Pelagic fish like herring and mackerel move fast, and so must the processing lines. At Optimar, we’ve been delivering pelagic fish processing solutions since the 1970s, to both vessels and land-based processing facilities. We work closely with our customers to understand how we can make their day a bit easier, the flow a bit smoother, and the product quality more consistent.

Built for speed and flow, from start to finish

Processing pelagic fish often means handling large volumes under time pressure. That’s why everything needs to run like clockwork from intake and weighing to sorting, cooling and packing. Our pelagic fish processing solutions are built to keep up with the pace while ensuring fish welfare.
