Since 1984 Sæplast has been a big part of the fishing industry

From the beginning Sæplast has focused on the quality of the product to ensure long lasting lifetime and a high product value for the customer.

This fall Sæplast had the chance to support an interesting project started by The Aurora Fund. The Aurora Fund is a foundation that aims to enhance and strengthen cultural and humanitarian activities in Iceland and abroad. Emphasis is focused on supporting projects that can make a difference, that injects hope and optimism into a community according to the website www.aurorafund.is

This weekend the annual Icelandic Seafood Conference was held in Harpa Conference Centre in Reykjavík with about 14 sessions and 70 lectures about the problems and progress of the industry.

Sæplast has participated in the Conxemar exhibition for 15 consecutive years. It is conveniently located in Vigo only 50 km from our Spanish manufacturing operation. Conxemar is an important platform to communicate and provide the latest market information as well as to conclude deals. At Conxemar, Saeplast Spain is displaying a highlight of its range suited for small fishing boats to large processors.

Earlier this summer, Sæplast in Dalvík received a certification confirming that the quality system of the company fulfils the requirements of the international quality standard ISO 9001:2015. The quality system covers the manufacture and sales of rotationally moulded tubs, lids, pallets and accessories, tanks, wells, sand- oil- and grease separators and custom moulding.

A draw has been made to find the winner from among those who accepted the challenge of putting a crack or hole in a Sæplast tub at the recent Fisheries exhibition in Brussels. The lucky winner is Mr Ahmed Hamodi from the Polish company Makro and he will receive a price of an airline ticket for two between Iceland and one of the destinations of WOW Air in Europe.

At the fisheries exhibition in Brussels last month some things were done for fun at the Sæplast booth. For instance, guests were invited to test the strength of the Sæplast tubs and an exciting prize was offered to the person who could break a Sæplast tub by hitting it with a hammer. The main prize was a flight between Iceland and any of the destinations of WOW Air within Europe.

“Our participation in Brussels was a success and we received many customers in our Sæplast booth during the exhibition”, says Hólmar Svansson, CEO of Sæplast, but the international fisheries show “Seafood Global Expo” finished in Brussels recently. Hólmar says that due to the terrorist acts in the city earlier in the year, people had noticed more strict security measures but in spite of this the atmosphere in the exhibition area had been good and the guests were enthusiastic about the products displayed by Sæplast. “Although the number of guests had been down from last time, this was made up for, because the people most important to us turned up and thus the participation in the Expo was a great success from our point of view”, Hólmar said.
