SUMMARY:Icefish 2026
DESCRIPTION:Sæplast Location: B40 \nFew exhibitions are as closely connected to the history and development of Icelandic fisheries as Icefish. First held in 1984\, the Icelandic Fisheries & Aquaculture Exhibition has grown from a national industry gathering into an international event for commercial fishing\, aquaculture\, seafood processing\, and related technologies. The 15th edition will take place at Smárinn/Fífan in Kópavogur from 22 to 24 September 2026\, bringing the industry together in a country where seafood remains central to business\, innovation\, and coastal communities. \nIcefish 2026 extends well beyond the exhibition floor. Its programme includes conferences focused on aquaculture and the commercial potential of using more of every fish\, alongside business matchmaking\, product presentations\, technical discussions\, and the Icelandic Fisheries & Aquaculture Awards. This combination gives visitors an opportunity to evaluate equipment\, meet potential partners\, and take part in wider conversations about efficiency\, resource utilisation\, product quality\, and the future direction of the seafood sector. \nThere is a natural connection between Icefish and Sæplast. The exhibition began in 1984\, the same year that Sæplast was founded in Dalvík in northern Iceland. Responding directly to the needs of the Icelandic seafood community\, Sæplast developed insulated plastic containers that offered a stronger and more practical way to protect fish quality during handling. What began as an Icelandic solution to an Icelandic industry challenge has since developed into an international product range used across fishing\, aquaculture\, processing\, storage\, and distribution. Visitors can learn more about Sæplast’s Icelandic origins and international development. \nAt stand B40\, the Sæplast team will meet fishing companies\, aquaculture producers\, seafood processors\, distributors\, and other businesses looking to improve how raw materials and finished products move through their operations. These conversations will cover the full fish and seafood value chain\, from onboard catch handling and landing to production\, cold storage\, and transport. The objective is not simply to display products. It is to help customers identify the right container\, material\, capacity\, and handling configuration for the work they perform every day. \nThe Sæplast range includes insulated fish tubs and containers developed to help maintain temperature stability and protect seafood from unnecessary pressure\, impact\, and repeated handling. Smooth polyethylene surfaces and seamless construction support effective cleaning and strict hygiene routines\, while reinforced designs allow the products to withstand demanding use in fishing vessels and processing facilities. For operations managing internal material flow\, Sæplast also supplies durable plastic pallets and lightweight food-processing buggies. \nChoosing the right handling equipment can affect far more than the movement of fish from one location to another. Container insulation can reduce ice melt and support more stable temperatures. Appropriate dimensions and stacking characteristics can improve the use of storage and transport space. Reliable forklift access and handling features can make daily work safer and more efficient. Durable construction can also reduce damage\, replacement frequency\, and interruptions caused by equipment failure. Over the full product lifetime\, these factors contribute to product quality\, operating efficiency\, food safety\, and total cost of ownership. \nSæplast also supports customers after the initial product purchase. Containers\, pallets\, and buggies can be equipped with tracking solutions such as RFID tags\, barcodes\, and QR codes to improve identification and asset control. Damaged containers can often be restored through maintenance and repair\, extending their working life and protecting the original investment. At the end of a PE container’s useful life\, Sæplast can also support responsible material recovery through its container recycling service. This lifecycle approach helps customers retain value from their equipment for longer while reducing unnecessary waste. \nThe most useful conversations at Icefish often begin with a real operational problem. It may be excessive ice consumption\, damage to valuable catch\, inefficient use of space\, difficult cleaning\, poor asset visibility\, or containers that require frequent replacement. The Sæplast team will be available at stand B40 to discuss these challenges\, review practical requirements\, and help visitors identify solutions suited to their operation. \nAttending Icefish 2026?

SUMMARY:Seafood Processing Global 2027
DESCRIPTION:Meet Sæplast at Seafood Processing Global 2027\nFrom 20 to 22 April 2027\, Barcelona will become a global meeting place for the seafood industry as Seafood Processing Global returns to Fira Barcelona Gran Via. Bringing together seafood processors\, producers\, equipment manufacturers\, technology providers\, logistics specialists and buyers from around the world\, the exhibition offers a comprehensive view of the systems and solutions shaping modern seafood production. \nSeafood Processing Global takes place alongside Seafood Expo Global\, creating an event that covers almost every stage of the seafood value chain. In 2026\, the combined exhibition welcomed more than 35\,500 industry professionals and 2\,290 exhibiting companies from 85 countries. Its international reach makes Barcelona a valuable place for seafood businesses to compare solutions\, meet partners and discuss the operational challenges affecting their facilities\, fleets and supply chains. \nFor Sæplast\, Seafood Processing Global is a particularly important event. It provides an opportunity to meet customers\, distributors and industry partners from numerous markets in one location\, while presenting material handling solutions designed for the demanding conditions found throughout the global seafood industry. \nMaterial handling connects the seafood value chain\nSeafood processing depends on more than individual machines or production lines. Every facility also needs a reliable way to move raw materials\, ingredients\, by-products and finished products safely between receiving\, processing\, cooling\, storage and dispatch. \nContainers may appear to be a straightforward part of this system\, but their performance can directly affect hygiene\, product quality\, employee safety and production efficiency. Cracked surfaces\, poor insulation\, difficult cleaning and unreliable handling can create unnecessary costs and operational risk. \nSæplast develops reusable material handling products for businesses that need equipment capable of performing consistently in wet\, cold and physically demanding environments. Drawing on decades of experience in the fish and seafood industry\, the company works with customers across fishing\, aquaculture\, seafood processing\, logistics and cold-chain operations. \nAt Seafood Processing Global 2027\, the Sæplast team will be available to discuss how selecting the right container can improve workflows throughout a seafood operation. These conversations can cover everything from vessel handling and raw-material receiving to factory logistics\, chilling\, temporary storage and transport. \nDurable tubs for demanding seafood operations\nA central part of the Sæplast product range is its selection of insulated and reusable tubs. These products are developed to withstand repeated handling\, stacking\, washing and movement by forklift or pallet jack. \nSæplast polyethylene tubs are designed for applications where impact resistance\, cleanability and reliable everyday handling are important. Their double-walled construction provides strength without the corrosion concerns associated with some alternative materials. Smooth surfaces and rounded internal corners also support effective cleaning in hygiene-sensitive environments. \nFor temperature-sensitive applications\, PUR-insulated tubs help protect seafood and other perishable products during processing\, storage and transport. Effective insulation can help control ice melt and support more stable product temperatures\, particularly where fish or seafood must remain chilled for extended periods. \nChoosing between different tub sizes\, materials and specifications should always begin with the application. Product type\, load weight\, handling equipment\, cleaning processes\, stacking requirements and journey length can all influence the most appropriate solution. The Sæplast team can help customers evaluate these factors and select equipment suited to the actual conditions in which it will be used. \nProtecting seafood quality through better handling\nThe quality of seafood can be affected at every point between harvesting and delivery. Temperature variation\, excessive pressure\, contamination risks and unnecessary handling can all reduce product value. \nWell-designed reusable containers contribute to a more controlled handling process. Appropriate insulation helps maintain chilled conditions\, while robust construction protects the container during repeated industrial use. The correct tub dimensions can also support more efficient use of ice and reduce the risk of excessive pressure being placed on delicate products. \nThese benefits are relevant throughout the industry\, including wild-capture fisheries\, aquaculture\, primary processing and value-added production. They also matter to logistics providers responsible for moving products between vessels\, processing facilities\, cold stores and distribution centres. \nVisitors to Seafood Processing Global can speak with Sæplast about practical product selection for different seafood species\, production volumes and handling environments. The objective is not simply to choose a container that holds the required volume. It is to find a solution that supports product quality while fitting naturally into the wider operation. \nPallets\, buggies and complete handling systems\nEfficient material handling often requires more than tubs alone. Sæplast also provides durable plastic pallets developed for food-industry applications where hygiene\, strength and repeatability are important. \nPlastic pallets avoid the splinters\, loose nails and moisture absorption associated with wooden alternatives. They can be washed repeatedly and incorporated into controlled hygiene programmes\, making them suitable for processing plants\, cold stores and distribution environments. \nThe Sæplast range of material handling buggies supports the movement of food\, ingredients and by-products within production facilities. Their mobile format can help employees transfer materials efficiently between workstations while reducing unnecessary manual handling. \nBy considering tubs\, pallets\, buggies\, lids and accessories as parts of one handling system\, processors can create more consistent workflows. Standardisation can also simplify washing\, storage\, stacking and equipment management across multiple departments or production sites. \nLooking beyond the initial purchase\nThe value of reusable handling equipment is determined over its complete working life. Purchase price is one consideration\, but replacement frequency\, cleaning performance\, downtime\, product loss and disposal must also be taken into account. \nSæplast products are designed for long-term industrial use\, and the company provides services that can help customers manage their equipment throughout its lifecycle. \nTracking solutions can support better visibility of container fleets using technologies such as RFID\, barcodes and QR codes. This can help businesses monitor movement\, improve stock control and reduce losses\, particularly when tubs travel between vessels\, suppliers\, factories and logistics partners. \nWhen damage occurs\, professional tub repair services may extend the useful life of suitable products. This can reduce the need for premature replacement and help businesses gain more value from their existing fleet. \nAt the end of a product’s usable life\, Sæplast can also support responsible material recovery through its recycling services. This lifecycle approach connects durability\, repairability and recycling as parts of a broader reusable system. \nFlexible capacity with iTUB rental solutions\nSeafood production is rarely constant throughout the year. Seasonal fisheries\, harvest periods and temporary increases in demand can create a short-term requirement for significantly more containers. \nPurchasing a permanent fleet for a temporary production peak can tie up capital and leave businesses storing unused equipment during quieter periods. The iTUB rental service provides an alternative by allowing customers to access reusable tubs when additional capacity is required. \nRental solutions can be particularly valuable for seasonal fisheries and businesses managing changing supply volumes. They can also help customers test different formats or manage new contracts without immediately investing in a large permanent fleet. \nAt Seafood Processing Global 2027\, visitors can discuss whether ownership\, rental or a combination of both would provide the most practical approach for their operation. \nReusable packaging in a changing regulatory environment\nThe European packaging landscape continues to change following the introduction of the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation\, commonly known as PPWR. The regulation entered into force in February 2025 and became generally applicable in August 2026. \nFor seafood businesses operating in or supplying the European market\, 2027 will therefore be an important year for reviewing packaging and handling systems. Companies may need to consider how reusable assets are documented\, cleaned\, tracked\, repaired and ultimately recycled. \nLong-life reusable containers can support a move away from single-use transport packaging\, but durability alone is not enough. Businesses also need systems that keep reusable equipment in circulation and preserve its value for as long as practical. \nSæplast has prepared information to help customers understand how durable tubs\, fleet tracking\, repair services and end-of-life recycling relate to the developing regulatory landscape. Visitors can learn more through the company’s PPWR information centre or discuss their handling requirements directly with the team in Barcelona. \nPractical discussions about real processing challenges\nSeafood Processing Global is designed for professionals responsible for production\, engineering\, maintenance\, food safety\, quality assurance\, procurement and company strategy. The exhibition covers processing equipment\, packaging\, refrigeration\, cold storage\, automation\, traceability and logistics\, providing a useful setting for discussions that cross traditional departmental boundaries. \nThe 2027 conference programme is also expected to feature more than 30 sessions covering subjects including processing technology\, automation\, traceability\, supply-chain compliance\, product innovation and sustainability. \nSæplast welcomes visitors who want to discuss a specific operational problem\, compare container formats or review an existing fleet. Useful conversations can begin with practical questions: \n\nAre containers being replaced more frequently than expected?\nIs equipment difficult or time-consuming to clean?\nAre products remaining at the required temperature throughout handling?\nAre tubs being lost when they leave the facility?\nIs seasonal demand creating a temporary shortage of equipment?\nCould repair\, tracking or rental reduce total operating costs?\nIs the current handling system ready for evolving packaging requirements?\n\nBy examining the complete workflow\, Sæplast can help identify solutions that support safer handling\, effective hygiene\, better product protection and more efficient use of resources. \nSeafood Processing Global 2027 offers an important opportunity to meet the people behind Sæplast and explore solutions developed for seafood operations around the world.

SUMMARY:AquaNor 2027
DESCRIPTION:Meet Sæplast at Aqua Nor 2027 in Trondheim\nAquaculture continues to grow\, but growth places greater demands on every part of the production system. Fish welfare\, harvesting capacity\, temperature control\, hygiene\, traceability\, labour requirements\, and efficient use of resources must all be managed without compromising product quality. \nThese challenges will be central to Aqua Nor 2027\, taking place from 24 to 26 August at Trondheim Spektrum in Norway. Since its establishment in 1979\, Aqua Nor has developed into the world’s largest exhibition dedicated to aquaculture technology. Recent editions have attracted approximately 25\,000 visitors from as many as 80 countries\, bringing together fish farmers\, seafood producers\, equipment suppliers\, researchers\, investors\, and technology providers from the global aquaculture sector. \nTechnology across the aquaculture value chain\nAqua Nor covers far more than farming equipment. The exhibition presents systems and services connected to breeding\, feed\, fish health\, biomass control\, cage technology\, vessels\, harvesting\, processing\, logistics\, and seafood handling. \nThe 2027 exhibition will extend across Trondheim Spektrum and the surrounding outdoor areas. Aqua Nor also provides an on-water exhibition close to the main venue\, allowing vessels\, cages\, feed barges\, and other floating installations to be demonstrated in the environment for which they were developed. \nThis combination makes Aqua Nor a practical place to compare technologies and examine how different parts of an aquaculture operation work together. It also creates opportunities to discuss the less visible equipment that connects harvesting\, processing\, storage\, and transport. \nProtecting quality after harvesting\nThe condition of farmed fish can change quickly once harvesting begins. Time\, temperature\, physical handling\, hygiene\, and the number of transfers between pieces of equipment can all influence the quality and value of the final product. \nReliable containers help establish greater control during these critical stages. They can be used to separate batches\, move chilled raw materials\, manage ingredients and by-products\, and transfer seafood safely between harvesting\, processing\, storage\, and dispatch. \nSæplast has more than four decades of experience developing equipment for demanding fish and seafood operations. This experience is reflected in products designed to perform in cold\, wet\, and physically demanding environments where strength\, hygiene\, and dependable handling are essential. \nInsulated containers for aquaculture and seafood handling\nSæplast tubs and insulated containers are developed for repeated industrial use. Their robust construction helps them withstand impacts\, forklift handling\, stacking\, washing\, and the demands of continuous daily operation. \nInsulation can help maintain more stable product temperatures and reduce ice melt during handling and storage. This is particularly valuable when harvested fish or temperature-sensitive materials must remain chilled while waiting for processing or transport. \nThe internal design of a container is equally important. Smooth\, non-porous surfaces and rounded corners make Sæplast containers easier to clean and sanitise. This supports effective hygiene routines and reduces the number of difficult areas where organic material can collect. \nDifferent sizes\, designs\, and handling configurations allow businesses to choose containers suited to their production volumes\, available floor space\, lifting equipment\, and logistical requirements. The right selection can improve product protection while making everyday handling more consistent. \nEquipment that supports the complete process\nAquaculture businesses rarely rely on a single container type. Hatcheries\, farms\, harvesting facilities\, wellboats\, processing plants\, and logistics providers can each have different requirements. \nSæplast provides a wider material-handling system that includes durable plastic pallets\, mobile food-processing buggies\, lids\, and accessories. These products can support organised movement between receiving\, grading\, processing\, packing\, cold storage\, and dispatch. \nStandardising equipment across different areas can simplify washing\, stacking\, storage\, and mechanical handling. It can also make it easier to train employees\, plan production layouts\, and manage equipment across multiple facilities. \nFor companies operating internationally or moving containers between farms\, processors\, and logistics partners\, Sæplast tracking solutions can provide greater visibility. RFID tags\, barcodes\, and QR codes can support container identification\, inventory management\, and traceability while helping reduce equipment losses. \nStrength designed for long-term use\nContainers used in aquaculture and seafood processing face repeated impacts\, heavy loads\, low temperatures\, frequent washing\, and exposure to demanding working conditions. Equipment that cracks or deforms prematurely creates more than a purchasing expense. It can interrupt workflows\, complicate cleaning\, and increase operational risk. \nSæplast containers are built to remain in service for many years. Their durability can reduce replacement frequency and provide stronger value over the full working life of the equipment. \nSuitable products can also be supported through professional repair services\, helping customers extend container life instead of replacing damaged equipment unnecessarily. At the end of a polyethylene container’s usable life\, it can be renewed or processed through Sæplast container recycling services\, subject to product condition and local availability. \nThis lifecycle approach allows aquaculture businesses to consider durability\, maintenance\, reuse\, and material recovery as connected parts of their equipment strategy. \nPractical conversations in Trondheim\nThe most valuable discussions at Aqua Nor often begin with a specific operational problem. A business may need to reduce ice consumption\, improve sanitation\, protect harvested fish from unnecessary pressure\, move products more efficiently\, or gain better control over a large container fleet. \nThe Sæplast team will be available to discuss these requirements and help visitors evaluate container capacities\, materials\, handling features\, insulation\, stacking\, cleaning\, and tracking options. The aim is to identify equipment that fits the operation\, protects product quality\, and delivers reliable performance over time. \nAttending Aqua Nor 2027?
