Icelandic salmon start up Laxey collaborates with male choir for unique cultural event.
Icelandic land-based salmon producer, Laxey, recently partnered with the Male Choir of Vestmannaeyjar in an unusual and culturally significant collaboration.
The event took place last month when the choir was invited to perform inside one of Laxey’s grow-out tanks, creating a unique blend of industry and tradition.
For the occasion, the choir selected a traditional Icelandic song, which they performed in the immersive and acoustically distinct environment of the tank.
In a LinkedIn post last week, the salmon producer expressed gratitude to choir for their participation, acknowledging the importance of integrating cultural elements into their operations.
Laxey, previously known as Icelandic Land Farmed Salmon, is progressing with its plans to complete a hatchery, with a grow-out facility slated to commence production in 2024.
The company projects a production of 27,000 metric tons of farmed Atlantic Salmon by 2031. The initial operational phase is expected to commence by mid-2024, with the first sales anticipated for late 2025.
