We have throughout the last year signed a number of different factory contracts for delivery into 2023 and we are proud that also Kjell-Gunnar Hoddevik and his partner Johnny Årvik, in Polarbris, have chosen PE Bjørdal as supplier for this project.
Bjørdal Automation System and factory equipment will be produced in Norway.
Bjørn Meek, CEO of PE Bjørdal, states:
It is a pleasure that also Polarbris choses PE Bjørdal as supplier and this confirms our position in the fishery market. It is also good to see another fine recognition of all parts of PE Bjørdal that makes this possible.
