SPECIAL PROMOTION
ICELAND SEAFOOD
Established in 1993 by Jan Thomsen and
Laufey Jóhannsdóttir, Danica Seafood
Ltd. is a leading fresh fish distributor, head-
quartered in downtown Reykjavík, export-
ing Icelandic fish to the US, the UK and
mainland Europe.
Jan, the company’s managing director,
who is originally from Denmark, worked for
several years in the Danish fishing industry
before moving to Iceland with his Icelandic
wife in 1985, and the young couple found-
ed Danica Seafood shortly thereafter.
FRESHNESS AND QUALITY
Providing the freshest and highest-quality
catch to customers from all over the world
is a top priority for Danica. “We send dai-
ly shipments to the US, to Britain and to
mainland Europe,” Jan explains. “We sell
all kinds of fish, but Icelandic cod and had-
dock mostly, and our business has been
growing steadily over the years.”
The company has been certified by the
Marine Stewardship Council for its sustain-
able fishing practices.
SECRET OF SUCCESS
The key to Danica’s success has been the
award-winning fish distributor’s strong re-
lationship with its clientele. “A lot of the
growth within Danica has been with our ini-
tial customers,” Jan says. “We grow along
with our customers.”
A relatively small operation of ten ded-
icated employees, many of whom are Jan
and Laufey’s relatives, Danica Seafood Ltd.
represents some of the best Iceland has to
offer in fish distribution. danica.is
WORLD-CLASS SEAFOOD DISTRIBUTION
