Merits of the Danish model
THE Danish Fish Tech Group is the country’s largest network of suppliers, exporting to the global fishing, aquaculture, and seafood processing industries.
Representing around 100 companies, the group is a platform to develop markets and it maintains a regular presence at international exhibitions.
‘The Danish suppliers to the aquaculture industry cover the entire value chain, from solutions, services and equipment for the fish farms, land based or offshore, as well as efficient, cost reducing, highly hygienic and sustainable solutions and machinery for processing of the fish and seafood,’ said Martin Winkel, head of the Danish Fish Tech Group, Stewart Graham was given an insight into how the Danish sector operates when he was invited by Winkel to a supplier network meeting in Denmark in January last year.
He said at the time: ‘In Scotland, we have massively underexploited our supply chain, so we were interested to see how networks of suppliers like Danish Fish Tech Group and their member companies work.
‘We can learn from them and continue to form partnerships that lead to benefits in export or investments.’
