A significant milestone for Proximar Seafood and partners was reached Tuesday 22th of November as the Operation Initiation Ceremony took place at the construction site in Oyama-cho, Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan.

Japan has a strong ceremonial tradition with regards to major business milestones, a tradition that Proximar embraces. Consequently, we yesterday celebrated the operational startup of our first fish farm, together with the company's collaboration partners and stakeholders. This follows in the footsteps of the ground-breaking ceremony held in April 2021.

The ceremony was well supported by the Norwegian Embassy and local authorities, represented by Norwegian Minister-Counsellor Line Aune, Mayor of Oyama Town Seiichi IKEYA and the Director of Fishery and Ocean Bureau, Shizuoka Prefecture, Takeshi ITABASHI. Proximar organized the event with help from our construction partner DaiwaHouse Industries and our sales & marketing partner Marubeni Corporation. Many of our valuable partners attended with top executives, such as Aqua Maof and Skretting, and the ceremony received broad media coverage, both nationwide and regionally.
