MAT Filtration Technologies established its official branch in Norway, MAT-KULING AS. The company said that the establishment of a local office was mandatory to service properly the growing demand in the Scandinavian region and its current and future aquaculture customers.

The Norwegian branch will focus on RAS equipment supply and systems design, as well as industrial filtration technology solutions. MAT-KULING shareholders are Björn Dörum and MAT Filtration Technologies AS from Turkey. In its short-term strategy, MAT-KULING is aiming to develop a local RAS equipment assembly facility.

Björn Dörum, partner for the Nordic region and founder of Kuling Water Treatment, has a substantial background in the water treatment business. Dörum was the first employee, major shareholder and director of Enwa Water Technology, the leading water treatment company in Scandinavia. ENWA is MAT-KULING’s major affiliate in water technology and installation, as well as maintenance services. Prior to starting up in ENWA, Björn worked for 14 years in the French oil major Total and was managing director of Oceanor, the Oceanographic Company of Norway.
