Stingray: A Sustainable Revolution in Aquaculture, Made in Norway

Published 27 Oct 2025 · 3 min read

The Stingray system is transforming the aquaculture industry with laser technology that removes sea lice and monitors fish health around the clock.

This gentle, non-invasive method eliminates the need for physical handling, reduces stress and injury, and helps lower mortality rates – setting a new standard for fish welfare and sustainable operations.

Now, Stingray proudly carries the Made in Norway label.

For Stingray, this is more than a label – it’s a promise: to build technology in Norway that ensures safety, precision, and sustainability in one of the country’s – and the world’s – most vital industries.

Driving sustainable aquaculture

Founded in 2012, Stingray was built on a clear ambition: to develop technology that improves fish health and makes aquaculture more sustainable.

Over the past decade, the company has grown into a key player in the industry, with development and production based in Oslo – and a global footprint that reaches far beyond Norwegian waters.

“We’re not just a technology company. We’re part of a Norwegian value chain creating solutions that make aquaculture more sustainable. Being Made in Norway is both natural and essential to us – it reminds us where we come from and who we are,” says John Arne Breivik, CEO of Stingray.

Motivation for using the Made in Norway label

Stingray joined the Made in Norway network to highlight what has always been part of its DNA: developing solutions in Norway for a global industry – and for a better future.

“Made in Norway is about trust. For our customers, it’s a guarantee that the product is developed with Norwegian precision, quality, and responsibility,” says John Arne Breivik.

With the Made in Norway certification, Stingray strengthens its message: Norwegian technology, Norwegian quality, and an unwavering commitment to creating better solutions for aquaculture – for farmers, for fish health, for society, and for the future of Norway.

“For us, it’s a mark of authenticity that strengthens both confidence and identity. As we expand internationally, it’s vital that we preserve our Norwegian roots,”emphasises Breivik.

The market for Stingray's solutions

The aquaculture technology market is growing rapidly, with an increasing demand for sustainable and efficient solutions. For Stingray, the Made in Norway certification reinforces its position as a symbol of quality, ownership, and innovation.

To date, Stingray has delivered more than 2,900 nodes, with systems deployed by some of the world’s largest aquaculture companies. Key milestones – from the first commercial installations in 2016, to major breakthroughs in 2020, and record deliveries in 2023, 2024, and 2025 – demonstrate both technological progress and Norwegian innovation in action.

“Aquaculture is a global industry, but Norway is its epicentre. With Made in Norway, Stingray gains a symbol that strengthens our position both at home and abroad. It opens doors, builds credibility, and reinforces our brand,” says Breivik.

“We’re not just building a product – we’re building a legacy. Made in Norway is about creating something that lasts, something that stands strong in the face of future demands for sustainability and quality,” concludes John Arne Breivik.
