About Us
Haustak was established in 1999 by few fishing companies on the Reykjanes Peninsula in southwest Iceland. Soon there were only two companies left who to this day are the shared owners of Haustak. ( Vísir and Þorbjörn)
Haustak has since start been leading in developing technique to dry fish inside using geothermal energy. At the start we dried most of the products outside on wooden racks but soon we started to build up our inside drying. Starting with one container and blowing hot air through up to extending our facilities year by year ending up as one of Iceland´s largest fish drying factory. Haustak exports around 3.000 MT of dried fish products to Nigeria every year.
