Marel is pleased to announce the appointment of Diego Lages to the position of Sales Director for Marel Fish, effective 1 January 2018.

Diego is based in Iceland and reports to Sigurdur Ólason, Managing Director (EVP) Marel Fish.

Marel continues to serve the wild whitefish and salmon processing segments, but is now increasing its focus on farmed whitefish.

Diego’s appointment further strengthens Marel’s ability to make this shift, which reflects the company’s awareness of the growing importance of the farmed whitefish segment in feeding the world sustainably.

Having been with Marel for 15 years, Diego has a strong regional knowledge and understanding of the fish processing industry, and his background in aquaculture science is also a great asset to the management team.
