Iceland is an important market for Brunvoll, which has been represented on the island for many years. Brunvoll has until now been represented in Iceland by Velar and Skip in Reykjavik. For strategic reasons, Brunvoll and Velar and Skip have agreed to end this collaboration.
"Brunvoll has had a good collaboration with Velar and Skip for many years. It is therefore a bit melancholic, but still the right decision for both parties to now end the formal collaboration. We wish Velar and Skip good luck going forward," says Geir Larsen, EVP Sales at Brunvoll
"We are very pleased to have Slippurinn on board as part of our fantastic international network of sales and service representatives, and we look forward to a good collaboration and increased sales in Iceland," says continues Larsen.
Brunvoll is very pleased to enter a collaboration with Slippurinn, which operates both in ship maintenance with its own dock and slipway, as well as being a supplier of equipment to fish factories through DNG Process Solutions and fishing jigs through DNG Jigging Reels. Slippurinn has good experience with sales and marketing outside of its shipyard operations, which is valuable for the success of Brunvoll's products.
In the time ahead, Brunvoll will spend time training both sales and service resources from Slippurinn. The collaboration will be launched with a celebration at Slippurinn's stand during the seafood trade fair in Barcelona in week 17, where representatives from Brunvoll will also be present.
