BRIM

Brim was established in 1985 with a merger of two large fishing companies. Today the oldest part of Brim has history dating back to the year 1906. Brim operates both in pelagic and groundfish. The company operates 6 groundfish trawlers, thereof 2 freezing trawlers and 3 trawlers bringing in fresh fish for the groundfishplant inReykjavik. In the pelagic operations, the company has 3 vessels that bring fresh fish to the landbased processing facilities, mainly landed in Vopnafjordur for freezing as well as fishmeal and fishoil... Brim operates a very productive freezing plant in Vopnafjörður, which specializes in processing pelagic fish: capelin, herring, blue whiting and mackerel. The capelin is whole frozen or processed into roe. Mackerel is either whole frozen or beheaded and gutted. The herring is either whole frozen or processed into butterflies or fillets. A fishmeal factory is operated in Vopnafjörður. The factory mainly processes rejected capelin, herring waste and mackerel..
