Case study I: BEWi at Frøya

48%

The BEWi plant is the only Swedish supplier of EPP car parts Comments

The BEWi property at Frøya is strategically located in close proximity to Salmar, MOWI and Lerøy's fish slaughtering and processing facilities, which are key clients

BEWi produces EPS fish boxes, a key input factor to the production lines of salmon, as it ensures the freshness and quality of the fish

There are no other nearby production facilities for EPS fish boxes, and given the light weight and cost per box, it is not economically feasible to transport the boxes for longer distances, representing a barrier to entry for competitors

Case study II: BEWi at Skara

The BEWi plant is the only Swedish supplier of EPP car parts Comments
