Our company has its roots back to the 18th century, first located in Hisøya outside Arendal as Hæstad Eftf. The company was one of the biggest producers and exporter in Norway of herring and lobster.
3 generations ago in 1912, "Ramoen" one of the largest fishing vessel of its time, were built together with 5 other partners in Vartdal outside of Ålesund. Around 1916 processing and export were started in Ålesund.
Our company has played an active part in the development of the Norwegian seafood industry, both in fishery and processing from the late 1960s and salmon farming from the 1980s.
We are today dedicated to the same values that have been driving us since the start - high quality Products, predictability - and a high level of service.
Efficient logistics, quality certifications and a dedicated and hands on staff, ensuring that our customers get the product they expect. This also includes full traceability and not at least responsible and sustainable operation and sourcing.
