Isqueen AS is engaged in salmon farming and has five licenses in the local area. Our sites stretch from Ure to Ballstad, Sennesvik, Nappstraumen and Stamsund, where we create optimal conditions for producing salmon of the highest quality. Together with our subsidiary, Polarsmolt, we employ a total of around 60 people.

Annually, we produce around 7,000 tons of salmon, which is exported by Polar Quality AS to markets in Europe, the USA and Asia. Isqueen AS is a family business, now run by the second and third generations of the Svendsen family. Our dedicated staff includes both administrative personnel and our skilled smokers, who make up the majority of our workforce.

The fishmongers play a crucial role in our business; they are responsible for daily feeding, monitoring the health and welfare of the fish, and maintaining technical equipment and facilities.

Their work ensures that the fish grow up in optimal conditions, and they keep careful records of production data to maintain high quality throughout the production cycle. Historically, Isqueen AS previously operated under the name Lofoten Polarlaks.

Since 1979, the Svendsen family has run their business from Ure in Lofoten, and now, in the third generation, we continue our journey as Isqueen AS. We are passionate about maintaining a sustainable and ethical production of seafood, while ensuring high quality and taste. Isqueen AS is committed to being a reliable player in the aquaculture industry and looks forward to continuing to contribute to Lofoten’s rich fishing heritage.
