Dirdal

The headquarters of EWOS Innovation is situated in here, and it is also where most of our scientists, research farms and feed production technology centre are based.  The site was opened in 1986 and has developed greatly since then, with a wide range of tanks and cage units being available.  In addition to this, the feed Technology Centre was commissioned in 1996 (see link), allowing us to develop research into the technical properties of the feed and how best to make it, as well as enabling us to make trial batches of feed for the nutritional research.

At this site, we are able to run feed trials on fish from first feeding right up to market size (about 5 kg) in tanks. We can also run semi-commercial and commercial scale on trials fish in facilities close by at Oltesvik.

The wide range of facilities in Dirdal allows us to develop new diets to support the demands of EWOS customers. We are also able to test potential new raw materials in the diets of fish at all stages of the life cycle, allowing greater flexibility in diet formulation and hence greater sustainability.

With more than 20 years of trials run here, we know how the systems work, enabling us to design trials optimally. This means that the results can be applied directly to industry.
