Description
Episode 103 of Family Business Stories with Fexingo: Succession, Legacy, and Multi-Generational Companies. Lucas and Luna dive into the story of Norway's Hartmann family, who built one of the world's largest salmon producers from a single fjord farm in the 1970s. Today, the company is a multi-billion-dollar export giant, but the family has kept control through a unique ownership structure that balances growth with tradition. Discover how the third generation is navigating climate change, rising feed costs, and the shift to land-based aquaculture — all while preserving the family's legacy in a remote coastal village. A masterclass in scaling a family business without losing its roots.
