Alfa Laval has acquired LiftUP, a Norwegian supplier of waste extraction systems for fish farms.

“This acquisition is a valuable addition to our sustainable aquaculture portfolio, increasing our providing of fish farming options that increases both the productivity and financial attractiveness of fish farming solutions while lowering its impact on the environment,” said Sameer Kalra, president of Alfa Laval’s Marine Division.
