Mainstream Group, the Norwegian based global leader in salmon farming, has placed an order for an additional 28 PLEXUS® nets made of Dyneema® - the world’s strongest fiber™. The new order follows a three year trial period of using Dyneema® based cage nets from major Norwegian manufacturer and official DSM Dyneema licensee MøreNot AS, which has yielded a range of performance, economic and environmental benefits.
