Folk

In the story of Eide Fjordbruk, it is our staff and the local community who are the heroes.

Philosophy

Our philosophy is simple: Happy fish are tasty fish. And the people working here are the guarantors that the fish are happy, which in turn ensures a good local community with safe jobs.

The people

The people working at Eide are our backbone. Their concern is for the fish, each other and the value of safe jobs. The Eide family run the company with a generational perspective. This means that everything we do shall help create a healthy, long-term, sustainable business.

Our history

The Eide family have a tradition in food production dating back to the 1600s. For nearly 50 years, we have been involved in developing the Norwegian fish farming industry. Our perspective has always been long term, and so it shall continue.
1600
Hovudbruket på Eide (gnr. 72) vart delt i to. Dei to bruka vart etter kvart oppkalla etter brukarane rundt midten av 1800-talet, Anders og Johan: Andersbruket og Johanebruket, og etterkomarane vart kalla «Andersfolket» og «Johanefolket». Knut Johan og Knut Frode Eide stammar frå «Johanefolket».

Facilities

All of Eide’s business operations, from the smolt facility at Støa to the nettings in the fjords, are designed to live in harmony with nature and to secure long-term sustainability.
We are at nine locations in the Hardanger and Nordhordland regions of Western Norway. What all of these have in common are the unique fjords and Western Norwegian nature. The combination of warm water from the Atlantic Ocean, meltwater from the mountains and fresh Norwegian air make the Western Norwegian fjords the best place to live for both fish and people—in our opinion, at least.
