We are experts in global partnerships within seafood thanks to our profound product knowledge, reliable delivery, and swift response

In the Kangamiut Group, we are experts in global partnerships within seafood thanks to our profound product knowledge, reliable delivery, and swift response. We have been providing the world with quality frozen fish and seafood for half a century.  

It all started in 1975, when “Kangamiut Fish Trade” was founded by Niels Vinther Rasmussen as a partnership with Jørgen Urne who at the time was based in the little settlement Kangaamiut on the west coast of Greenland. From his home-built desk and equipped with a telephone and a calculator, Niels traded frozen seafood sourced from Greenland, and in 1985 he acquired Urne’s shares in the company.

From then on, Niels with his incredible drive and eye for business was an unstoppable engine in developing new business areas and partnerships, resulting in the establishment of Kangamiut as a major renowned player on the global seafood scene.   

Over the years, several successful subsidiary and associated companies were established around the world based on the Kangamiut partnership model in which the group companies are typically co-owned with local management. Each company operates independently while enjoying the synergies throughout the group – and embracing the values of our founder.

These values are preserved and nurtured as Kangamiut remains a family business owned by the late founder’s wife and three children.  

Today, Kangamiut Seafood remains our main subsidiary, and with the recent merger of former Kangamiut Group subsidiaries Northcoast Seafoods A/S and Dansea Nordic A/S with Kangamiut Seafood, we stand even stronger and more resilient for the next half century to come.

As a supplier and distributor of frozen fish and seafood the raw material of our business is, of course, the catch from the primary fisheries. However, our main strength as a reliable collaboration partner in the fish & seafood supply chain is the people: Our trusted suppliers; our dedicated employees and colleagues; and our valued customers around the world. 

Together – let’s catch the future!
