About us

BG Prodcution Sp. z.o.o. was established in Poland in 2010 initially providing service processing of Atlantic Salmon to Scandinavian market in Fresh form. Close allocation to Western European Markets allows BG Production constant market expansion, development as well as high level of competitiveness. Our aim is to transfer the production of seafood products aimed for the European markets back to the local markets. From Polish processing facility we are taking a first step towards a leaner supply chain. Closer to the raw material of fresh salmon and closer to the customers.

Fact sheet

Raw material Sourcing.

Our criterias for raw material are dominated by the requirements of our end customers. Therefore we are aiming for areas with slow growing fish which is consistent with firm meat texture and better colour. Our second aim is to have fish fed with maritime feeding systems, based on sustainable sources, that gives the salmon a natural taste and smell. Our third aim is to have fish that is given good conditions and circumstances for animal welfare, this includes feeding, clean cages and density of max 15 kg fish per m3. Fourth aim is to have the salmon produced into finished products within a maximum of 72 hours after slaughter.

We work steady with several selected farmers in Northern Norway, who are able to meet our requirements.

In production we employ around 230 staff, producing about 10,000 MT of rawmaterial per year.

Our markets are retail and foodservice companies in Australia, France, UK, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, USA and Japan.

Product development

We have a close dialog with our customers on new products that might be interesting for their particular needs. We are continuously scanning the markets for new packaging solutions, new and more sustainable ways of farming our raw material.

We are working closely together with market leaders in the toppings and flavoring industry to develop new flavors or cut to products that can benefit the customers in the market place.
