Company history.

In 1988 Kværner Kulde a/s opened up their own offices in Reykjavik, instead of relying on dealers in the area. From 1988 until 1997 the company grew and prospered under the name of Kværner Fisktækni a wholly owned subsidiary of the Norwegian mothercompany. In 1997 Kværner sold the operation to another Norwegian company MMC and our name changed to MMC Fisktækni. Then again in the year 2000 MMC in Norway merged with Tendos a/s and Odim a/s and again the name changed now to Optimar Iceland. In the winter of 2002 the mothercompany went bankrupt and Optimar Iceland was bought up by Gudmundur Jon Matthiasson and four other employees.
