About us

Today Nergård is one of the biggest Norwegian exporters of seafood. Located on top of the world, above the Arctic circle, we deliver quality products from one of the purest and finest food resources on the planet.

As one of few companies still family owned, we focus on maintaining local traditions and communities while sharing the sea's valuable assets with the rest of the world. Our "know-how" has been passed down from generation to generation, and today, our main task is to make the route from the world's best fish resources to the consumers as short as possible.

THE TECHNOLOGY

The technology within the fishing industry is ever-changing, and keeping up-to-date with new technology is very important. Updated and modern facilities and a continous effort to adjust to new technology ensures the best end result.

We have made major investments in white fish vessels, quota and salmon farm licenses. We are taking care of quality requirements on board, during landing, production, processing and transport - all the way to our customers.

THE HISTORY

The history of Nergård started over 50 years ago, back in 1950, when Arvid Nergård startet a fish dock at Lysnes. During the last 50+ years, Nergård has grown to be a preferred supplier of seafood both to the national and the international market.

In 1972 Nergård established a traditional fish dock in Senjahopen, where the headquarters are located today. During the 1980s we built a new factory for the production of salted fish, started producing fillets and prawns in Senjahopen, and acquired a new trawler. In 1989 the production of Salmon started and today we have 9 farming licenses.

Today Nergård has 14 processing plants all located in Northern Norway. We have 3 large and several smaller cold stores, 6 ocean going trawlers with 11 fish licenses/ prawn licenses. We employ 500 and have a total revenue of approx. 150 million euro/ year.
