Polar Seafood Greenland A/S was established in 1984 as the sales & marketing company for a number of independently owned Greenland prawn trawlers.
Today Polar Seafood is the owner of a highly modern fleet of large trawlers built for the fishing of prawns, cod, Greenland halibut, redfish and snow crab. The fish and shellfish are processed and frozen onboard the trawlers.
Ashore in Greenland, Polar Seafood is actively involved in the purchasing and processing of Greenland halibut.
Additional to the processing side of the business, the group also owns three modern purpose built Prawn peeling factories. These are situated in Esbjerg (Denmark), Nuuk (Greenland) and Alluitsup Paa (Greenland).
Complementing the central sales office in Vodskov/Denmark, Polar Seafood has established sales companies in England, Norway, Sweden, Italy, Canada and France.
Polar Seafood is one of the top fish exporters in Denmark and Polar Seafood is the largest privately owned company in Greenland.
Recently, a new cold storage with a holding capacity of approximately 6000 MT was opened in Vester Hassing, Denmark - only a few kilometers from the Vodskov Sales Office. The cold storage is equipped with ultra modern repacking facilities.
