“We could not hope for a stronger and more experienced CEO than Thor, who has been an integral part of Avramar’s creation and development since its inception. With growth returning to the global economy, we have seen strong demand for Avramar products. Thor’s appointment will further accelerate our performance and strategic development,” Tashjian said.
Commenting on the news, Danny Dweik, Head of Industry at Mubadala Investment Company, and co-investor in Avramar, said: “With a deep understanding of the company and the entire aquaculture sector, Thor is the ideal choice to promote the company.”

“I am very honored and excited for the opportunity you are giving me to lead Avramar to the next chapter in its development and I am grateful for the trust the owners have shown me. “My new role will allow me to harness the momentum that has been created and accelerate our pace towards new opportunities for innovation, expansion and growth.” said Mr. Talseth
