Vélfag in Akureyri

First stop on FTP´s Eyjafjörður company tour was Vélfag in Akureyri. Andri Fannar Gíslason, heading up Vélfag´s Research and Development team introduced FTP´s fellows to the company´s history and specialisation in heading, filleting and skinning machines for both offshore and land-based operations. The fellows were interested in Vélfag´s tailor-made solutions catering to the needs of both domestic and international customers. The fellows were given the opportunity to examine the machinery and Árni Kristinsson, the Service Manager, answered questions about Vélfag´s design, explaining that the machinery was easy-to-use, space saving, minimum maintenance, with a focus on maximising the utilisation of the raw material. The fellows were also impressed with Vélfag´s colourful and well-designed workplace. Click on the link below to see photographs of FTP´s visit to Vélfag.
