Mowi enters into staff consultation at Dingwall fish plant

Mowi, Scotland’s leading salmon aquaculture company, has entered into a consultation period with employees at its fish processing plant in Dingwall with a proposal to permanently close the facility.

The processing facility, previously owned and operated by Wester Ross Fisheries, cleans and packages salmon and employs about 15 people.

The company has said all staff will be offered similar or other employment with Mowi throughout the company’s value chain that includes fish processing plants, salmon hatcheries, ocean farms, and a feed mill.

The proposal is that salmon that would have been processed in Dingwall will be diverted to the company’s other processing plants in Scotland.

Mowi purchased Wester Ross Fisheries in June last year.
