Biorefinery specialist Biomega has appointed Åse-Lill Helgesen as its new product manager to oversee its flagship salmon products in human nutrition, pet food and aquaculture.
Helgesen joins Biomega after working as a product development engineer in the innovation and R&D department at GC Rieber Compact AS.
She previously worked at Reinertsen AS, experienced in providing engineering solutions for the oil and gas industries, and in the food industry at Norgesmøllene AS, a flour and grain milling company.
Bjørn Liaset, CSO at Biomega, said: “It is a pleasure to welcome Åse-Lill to the Biomega team. Her wealth of experience in product innovation will be pivotal to championing the success of our SalMe Peptides for the human health and nutrition market and our Salmigo range of proteins and oils for the pet food and aquaculture markets across Europe, North America and Asia.
“As Biomega continues to develop its processes in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, reducing our energy consumption and impact on the environment is a major driver for our sustainability vision.”
He added: “Åse-Lill’s breadth of knowledge from both the food and oil and gas industries will be hugely beneficial to the Biomega research and development teams in Norway and Denmark as we look to improve our environmental credentials at both plant facilities.”
Biomega is a producer of premium salmon-based innovative ingredients, both for premium pet food and human nutrition.
