Vónin is among the largest trawl producers in the North Atlantic, with branches in Faroe Islands, Greenland and Canada. As we have always done, all trials and production are undertaken in close co-operation with the fishing industry so that the ideas and advice coming from the industry can be considered and then tried out in our test tank. This enables us to develop our existing, as well as new products by incorporating years of experience and knowledge - and not just by research or by expensive fishing trials.
There has been a steady increase of customers, both from the Faroe Islands and abroad, and Vónin has products and services for trawlers and purse seiners of every type as well as for the fishfarming industry. Around 35% of our turnover is from customers abroad and this proportion is increasing.
Vónin also offers know-how in technical and practical matters. The demands on the fishing gear increase along with the development of instruments on the bridge and this inturn places new demands on how the fishing gear is handled to earn as much return as possible on the investment. When tests are carried out on new designs, the captain of the trawler, for which the design has been created, is almost always present.
