Testimonials
What our exhibitors say about the Icelandic Fisheries Exhibition:
“We were extremely happy with the 2011 exhibition! At the 2008 exhibition the whole industry suffered a big blow as the economic disaster hit Iceland at the same time.” Jónas Ágústsson, Managing Director, Eltak
“In the past three years companies have delayed bigger investments because of the undetermined future of the quota-system, but all over there is a need to update and renew equipment; we sense a lot of interest in our machines and we are certain we will land some sales contracts in the months following the exhibition.” Gudmundur Bragason, Sales Manager, Sonar ehf
“We sold all the machinery we had for sale – and more! I think Eimskip will need to buy a new freighter to move all the equipment we’ve sold!” Jóhann Ólafur Ársælsson, Manager, Ásafl ehf
“We sold all the equipment on our stand at the 2011 Icelandic Fisheries Exhibition. Big companies like Isfelagid, Vinnslustodin and Huginn in the Westman Islands, along with Skinney-Thinganes and HB Grandi in Vopnafjordur all have our machines on their shopping list. We’ve already sold equipment worth ISK 25 million and have contracts for at least the same amount in the pipline,” Jónas Oddgeirsson, Managing Director, Samhentir Packaging
"The Icelandic Fisheries Exhibition has from the first exhibition in 1984, been a major meeting point for Marel and the Icelandic seafood industry. It’s an opportunity to meet professionally and socially and as such is one of our most important exhibitions. With the current crisis it’s even more important to meet and share experiences as well as to introduce new technology to the industry." Petur Gudjonsson, Managing Director, Intl Sales and Services Network, Marel
"Having been exhibiting at Icefish since 1984, for Hampidjan, Icefish is the number one exhibition. It is always well organised with new and current customers attending. At the last IFE in 2011 Hampidjan was the winner of two awards “Best new product at show” with our Dynex Data and "Outstanding Icelandic Supplier – Catching (large companies)” for that we are grateful and it gives us the incentive to do even better work in the future. We are looking forward to the next exhibition and to meeting all our customers old and new, see you all there!" Haraldur Árnason, Sales and Marketing Director, Hampidjan Iceland
"We have exhibited at IFE since the first show in 1984 and it ranks as one of the most important exhibitions we attend. The show is a fantastic platform for maintaining our existing customer relationships as well as establishing new ones." Hilmar Gudmundsson, Sales & Marketing Director, Promens Dalvik ehf
