Lighthouse Caledonia ASA has announced that it will reopen its Marybank
processing facility in Stornoway, Isle of Lewis, Scotland, in June 2010. Around
90 jobs will be created to process the summer harvest of salmon from the
company's Loch Roag site in the Outer Hebrides.
Marybank will be one of only few factories in the world that can produce
'pre-rigor, pin bone out' fillets which offer optimum freshness and will bring
added value to the product in the strong Scottish salmon market.
Jim Mullins, Chairman of Lighthouse Caledonia, said:
"The market for Scottish salmon is particularly strong this year, so this is an
ideal time for us to provide an added value product. The company has made huge
steps forward in terms of sustainability and strengthening the business over the
past year and reopening Marybank marks another important milestone."
Lighthouse Caledonia is the largest independent salmon farmer in Scotland,
producing approximately 20% of Scottish salmon.
