Dalvik Whitefish Plant

Our Dalvik plant, opened in August 2020, is one of the most advanced production plants in the world for groundfish and is the only one of its kind due to the new technology and equipment. The construction of the facilities and development of equipment used in the building, which is 9,000 square meters, was a four-year process. The equipment in the house and the software that controls it are the results of the development collaboration between Samherji and the companies that produced them. These new specialized solutions based on innovation and entrepreneurship will be a showcase for many companies in the Icelandic technology industry in years to come. The building was also designed to make all the staff's facilities as secure and comfortable as possible. Important aspects like lighting and soundproofing was specially designed for increased comfort for the workers. 

The catching is controlled by the plant with quality and customer wishes in mind. All our products are super chilled under 0°C during production to keep material under best possible conditions throughout the process.
