Hailia Nordic Makes Waves: Securing €1.75M Seed Investment to Transform Seafood Sidestreams into High-Value Delicacies

Hailia Nordic Oy is proud to announce a significant funding milestone with a fresh raise of €1,750,000, marking a new chapter in its mission to enable the Blue Food Revolution. As a trailblazer in food technology, Hailia is rewriting the narrative around seafood production by mainstreaming sidestreams and transforming underutilised, low-value fish raw materials into high-value food products. This newly raised capital will accelerate the company's innovative approaches, further developing its novel production methods that not only focus on taste and texture but also enhance resource efficiency. Based at its state-of-the-art facility in Karkkila, Finland, Hailia operates both as a licensing tech provider and a contract manufacturer, producing an array of seafood products from chunks to patties and strips, all designed to appeal to modern consumers seeking healthy, affordable, and sustainable options. The investment will be strategically allocated to scaling up research and development efforts, expanding production capacity, and optimizing operational efficiencies that directly contribute to turning waste into profit by upcycling by-products that previously held low value. Moreover, this funding infusion reinforces Hailia’s commitment to assist partners throughout the seafood industry in boosting resource efficiency and profitability, paving the way for industry-wide transformation. With these funds, the company is advancing closer to its vision of becoming the industry standard in handling sidestreams and underutilised pelagics, propelling its journey into open seas and vast waters where sustainable practices steer the future of seafood. Welcome aboard this exhilarating journey as Hailia Nordic Oy continues to reshape the landscape of modern seafood production.
