Metal Production helps businesses and startups with global challenges facing the Blue Growth industry. We have a network of 100+ subcontractors in the Baltic Region and we are coordinating Rocket Cluster, an organization that brings together professionals from different engineering fields with a shared passion for innovation and technology.
Presentation:
We aim for a long-term partnership as it is most beneficial for both parties. By working closely together, we understand what clients need and deliver tailor-fit solutions at a reasonable cost. We are qualified in many disciplines but have focused on macro and microalgae for more than six years. We were pleased to have an opportunity to work with one of the largest Norwegian seaweed farmers and face the new engineering challenges. Today these challenges are called cultivation modules, multiple substrates seeding machines, and mechanized harvesters. I will be happy to present the new know-how that Metal Production has gained over the last years in collaboration with global seaweed farmers and how unique ideas are turned into a reality that is currently accelerating the industrialization of the sector.
