About us
Since the first factory was delivered in 1978, we have stood side by side with our customers to develop solutions that make their workdays run more smoothly. We have learned that small details can make a big difference – for both people and fish.
Our history
Setting the standard
The first factory we delivered was to the factory trawler John Longva. Since then, Optimar has helped set the standard for the global seafood industry.
From being dependent on manual labor and raw hand power, the automated solutions from Optimar have contributed to a more efficient and competitive industry.
Ever since the first factory was delivered, collaboration with shipping companies, crews, and shipyards has shaped our deliveries. Our solutions have to work seamlessly with other equipment and infrastructure, and it's crucial for us to know both the people and their needs to deliver the most efficient system.
