In 1983, the company was established by Vidkun and Fridtjof Wilsgård. In the very beginning Wilsgård only had one fish license, but has since then grown and today we have total of six.
Step-by-step, is how we formed our path up until today. We are now an integrated aquaculture group, including fish stocking, food fish, slaughterhouse, processing and sales, though our main activity is production of food fish, slaughter and packing of this. Our fish stocking is located in Kåfjord, while our food fish production is located in the municipalities of Karlsøy, Lenvik, Ibestad, Berg and Torsken. Slaughter and processing are taking place in Torsken.
In 1983, our family business started with 2 hard working employees. Today, almost 60 people are working at Wilsgård Fiskeoppdrett AS, with a total of 120 for the whole group.
Wilsgård are producing fish and building community – and we will continue our hard work in the future.
