Vónin takes over fish farming net supplier Mørenot Scotland
Faroes-headquartered aquaculture equipment supplier Vónin has officially announced the takeover of Mørenot Scotland, which has been renamed Vónin UK Ltd and will trade as Vónin Scotland.
The company, which primarily supplies nets and moorings, said the strategic step is a significant boost to its strong presence in the Scottish aquaculture market and underscores its deep commitment to the industry.
“Mørenot Scotland, with its impressive operations in Scalloway in Shetland and Scalpay on the Hebrides, and a dedicated team of 28 employees, perfectly reflects Vónin’s ethos of delivering exceptional quality and service,” Vónin said in a press release.
“As specialists in manufacturing and servicing nets and moorings for aquaculture, Mørenot Scotland has been a prominent name in the region, and now, as Vónin Scotland, it’s set to reach new heights.”
Norwegian company Mørenot had owned the company, previously Net Services (Shetland) Ltd, since 2008.
Landmark moment
Vónin chief executive Hjalmar Petersen said: “This takeover marks a landmark moment in our history. We have steadily grown our presence in Scotland, emerging as a key supplier in the local aquaculture industry. With Vónin Scotland, we’re not just consolidating our position but also gearing up to bring even more innovation and excellence to the market.”
David Goodlad, who was managing director of Mørenot Scotland and its predecessor Net Services (Shetland) for 25 years, remains in charge at Vónin Scotland.
He said: “Becoming part of Vónin opens fantastic new opportunities. The combination of Vónin’s strong market reputation and our local know-how is a powerful one. We’re looking forward to an exciting future and achieving great things together.”
