From a great Idea to a successful company

1/30/2020

Vélfag was founded in 1995 by husband and wife Bjarmi Sigurgarðarsson and Ólöf Ýr Lárusdóttir in the small town of Ólafsfjörður in North Iceland. After years of working on and around fishing vessels, they were convinced that new materials coupled with the latest technology would further enable fish processors to increase the utilization, yield and quality of each catch.
From producing better solutions for Baader machines, to building the worlds first stainless steel filleting machine, to selling 97 machines to customers based in 11 different countries, Vélfag has come a long way from the early days of spare part construction in the family garage.
It just shows that a great idea along with a passion for growth and a little elbow grease can positively change the lives of many!
Below is a collection of pictures, news articles and published interviews about Vélfags achievements over the past 25 years.
