Welcome to Lofoten Viking |
|
Lofoten
is an archipelago in the far north of Norway.
Located within the Arctic Circle, it's an
area known for its exceptional natural beauty and traditional way of
life.
The sea in this remote and
exotic place is teeming with life, and here you can find the world's
largest deep water coral reef (Røst Reef, 40 km long) - located at right at the end of
the Lofoten chain.
For centuries
traditional Norse fisherman have harvested the rich natural resources,
against a backdrop of snowy peaks and the vast silent ocean.
 From the Land of the Midnight Sun...

In
2004 two strong traditional fishing companies - Arne Mathisen AS
and Prime Sea Products AS - merged into a larger and more competitive
group now known as Lofoten Viking AS.
Lofoten
Viking AS has since further expanded its export potential by joining forces with the
Nergård Group, one of the biggest Norwegian exporters of seafood.
Lofoten Viking's products are based on raw materials from the rich fishing grounds across the north of Norway.
Our factory is located conveniently near to the fishing grounds, on the
beautiful island of Værøy, the penultimate of the Lofoten islands.

 ...and the land of the Vikings...
Beneath the towering cliffs of Værøy many burial sites from the Viking Age have been found, and the midnight sun can be seen
from May 30 to July 13.

Lofoten Viking AS exports a wide range of fresh and frozen fish, stockfish, and different herring products, both marinated and frozen.
The company exports about 80% of the production directly, and expected turnover is about $US60 million annually.
Lofoten Viking AS employs a staff of 50, and our production facilities measure 15000 square mts.
