At the heart of Hailia’s innovation is an award-winning, patent-pending seafood technology, that enables upcycling of filleting sidestreams to food products with a unique cooked fish fillet-like texture, meeting modern demands for tasty, sustainable, versatile and easy-to-use food - without the need for additional fishing or farming. Hailia’s solution is tailored specifically for seafood processors doing fish filleting, offering a way to maximize yield, reduce waste, and increase profitability. Rather than selling sidestreams at low value, processors can now upcycle them internally into a broader product portfolio at various price points. The technology integrates easily into existing workflows, enhancing sustainability and CO₂ efficiency while significantly boosting margins across the board. With a state-of-the-art production facility in Karkkila, Finland, Hailia handles piloting, R&D, and industrial-scale production for its partners. The company launched its first salmonid product in September 2024, available in both consumer packaging for retail and large-scale B2B formats for food service, HoReCa, and the food industry. Since then, 7 new SKU's has been launched to the market and more to come. By addressing inefficiencies in seafood processing, Hailia offers a game-changing business solution tailored for processors. The solution supports food security, strengthens industry profitability, and reduces the environmental footprint of seafood production.

Our company deals with the development and service of electronic devices, so we used the experience and knowledge of the past years and developed exactly the kind of anchor chain counter that one would want to have on the vessel. Due to our own production of communication modules, we have a great advantage here, as we were able to fully adapt our device to the requirements of use. The solution is basically a BRI (Boat Remote) anchor chain counter and controller, which meets the expectations of even demanding sailors and is also much more cost effective than competition. With its help, anchoring without assistants is easy, as the anchor can be lowered from behind the helm and the vessel controlled at the same time. The length of the lowered chain is clearly displayed on the large display, so the anchor maneuver can be carried out without any problems. Even if we do not pay attention to the length of the lowered or raised chain, we will not be able to accidentally unscrew or wind the entire chain. A sound warns us of this, but since we usually miss it, we added an automatic stop before the end position, which stops the winch operation even if the button is held down. Pressing the button again will resume the operation of the windlass, and with this we were warned that the final position is close and that we must be careful that the anchor does not swing and hit the side of the vessel. After successful sales in regional market we have decided that we want to enter the global market.
