Bluefront Equity has acquired a 55% majority stake in Meox AS, a fast‑growing provider of proprietary robotic cleaning solutions for the aquaculture industry. The investment was made through Bluefront Capital II, with Jaras Invest retaining a significant minority position as the second‑largest shareholder.
Headquartered in Namsos, Norway, Meox develops underwater cleaning robots and remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) designed to improve fish welfare and support more sustainable aquaculture operations. The company’s systems use a patented cavitation‑based cleaning method that removes fouling efficiently while minimizing wear on nets and other equipment, helping farmers maintain healthier environments with reduced maintenance impact.
Bluefront plans to back CEO Kristian K. Hjertvik and the Meox team in their next phase of growth, focusing on scaling deployment of the technology across more aquaculture sites and enhancing product capabilities. As part of the transaction, Bluefront’s Simen Landmark and Maria Benedicte Færevaag will join Meox’s board of directors, adding institutional support and governance as the company expands.
