Our patent-pending technology can upcycle low-value filleting sidestreams into high-value seafood products such as chunks, bites, strips, and patties. The technology enables up to 100 % utilisation of secondary fish processing sidestreams.
We don’t want to use the words ’unique’ and ’novel’ lightly, but our technology and the resulting products truly are a catch from previously unexplored waters.
The x-factor of our technology lies in the structure it creates for tasty products. The texture, resembling a cooked fish fillet, provides a pleasant mouthfeel. The stable structure maintains its form and texture when further processed, for example, canned or fried.
Our collaboration with fish supplier Kalavapriikki, fish farmer and food producer and Finland’s largest retail chain, S Group, has led to an exciting new product on grocery shelves across the country. Pulled Rainbow Trout, produced using Hailia’s innovative technology at our Karkkila facility, is made from fish sidestreams provided by Kalavapriikki, who also expertly handles distribution. The final product is marketed under S Group’s private label, Kotimaista.
This partnership with both S Group and Kalavapriikki demonstrates a powerful proof of concept for the circular economy and highlights the transformative potential of collaboration. No single company can redefine industry practices alone, but with strong partnerships, groundbreaking ideas can become reality.
