Martinsen takes over as General Manager at Skretting Norway.
Skretting has named Mads Martinsen as the new General Manager of its Norwegian operations, following the appointment of Håvard Walde as Managing Director for the company’s salmon business unit across Australia, Chile, North America, and Norway.
Martinsen has been with Skretting since 2011 and most recently held the position of Director of Product Development and Sustainability. He previously managed the company’s research station at Lerang and later assumed responsibility for grower feeds in Norway.
“I’m filled with both joy and a sense of awe at being given the opportunity to help drive the development of the feed side in Norwegian aquaculture,” Martinsen said. “We have strong opportunities to create value through innovation, sustainability, and product development — and I believe in maintaining close contact and open dialogue across the sector.”
Walde, who is now responsible for Skretting’s salmon operations in four key markets, welcomed the appointment: “We’ve gained a capable leader who knows the company well and has a strong commitment to aquaculture.”
Skretting is a global supplier of feed solutions for the aquaculture industry and is part of Nutreco. Headquartered in Stavanger, Norway, the company has operations in 18 countries and an annual feed production volume exceeding three million tonnes.
