HAMPIDJAN GROUP

In the Spring of 1934, in the middle of the Great Depression, thirteen individuals gathered a small fortune to begin a venture in Reykjavik Iceland to manufacture fishing nets, ropes and fishing long lines for the local fishing fleet. The founders named their new company HAMPIDJAN. The Hampidjan Group has evolved to become the world leader in making and servicing quality ropes and commercial fishing gear. The group operates several entities worldwide, including four in Iceland, two in Denmark, two in Ireland, three in the USA, one in Newfoundland, two in New Zealand, one in Lithuania and one in Australia. Among the Group’s entities are companies with strong local and international backgrounds, rooted in servicing dynamic fisheries for several decades including Swan Net Gundry in Ireland and Scotland and Cosmos Trawl in Denmark. Although the final assembly and on-site service of ready-made fishing gear takes place at each location, where the fishing fleets dock, the production of netting, ropes, twine and large trawls, takes place in our factory and in Lithuania and net loft in Iceland. Our primary objective is to help boost the efficiency and profitability of our customers. We choose to conduct constant research and product development through underwater and flume tank research, sophisticated computer software simulation and extensive on-site trials. All this is done to ensure that in the global market place, whether for fisheries, the oil industry, the military or various leisure activities, our customers can trust that our products are always second to none.
