Meet Henrik T. Halken, Group Vice President

Who am I?

I am Henrik Group Vice President, and Chairman of Aller Aqua Egypt and Aller Aqua Zambia. After finalizing my education, I started to work at Aller Aqua, and I have been in this organization for more than 20 years altogether now.

I provide the mentioned factories with leadership, and I am responsible for the Procurement Department.

What do I do?

One of my early career projects at Aller Aqua was to develop sales in Poland. Developing and educating the Polish market, resulted in establishing our Polish factory, which has been running since 2001.

The growth journey kept going on and I continued assisting with further expansion projects and partnerships, working with dedicated people across the world, and growing Aller Aqua together.

My day is full of dynamic tasks spread across the globe. I advise and coordinate teams and take decisions in the pertinent factories. Additionally, I assist with my guidance in the Procurement Department, a key player in our chain of operations.

Why I like working at Aller Aqua?

Being part of Aller Aqua has always been a journey with constant development and challenges. The organization has an entrepreneurial spirit where taking initiatives is a culture. Here employees have many opportunities to grow and to add their brick of value to building something stronger and greater.

It is always a pleasure to work with so many different cultures and people, where we all strive towards the same goals with the same attitude and enthusiasm.

After all, we are part of a greater mission. The aquaculture industry is the fastest-growing food sector in the world with low environmental impact. At Aller Aqua we work daily, to reduce our impact and improve the sector.

Work-life balance

As a nature lover, I prefer outdoor activities. Waking up early morning for jogging, family walks, and a bit of hunting, when the season kicks in.
I live in a house nestled in nature and love to spend time with my wife and other family members.
