We take pride in our history and invest in our future
Royal Greenland makes new grounds for the seafood industry by combining the proud Greenlandic fishing and hunting traditions with Denmark’s position as one of Europe’s greatest fishing nations.
For more than 230 years, Royal Greenland has been associated with first class seafood. Our history dates back to 1774, where trade in Greenland was taken over by the Danish State, which founded The Royal Greenlandic Trade.
Trade mark for high quality
The Royal Greenland Trade had a state monopoly until 1950 and exsisted up to 1985, when it was converted to the export company Proeks (later Royal Greenland. Soon after, Royal Greenland was established as a trade mark for Greenlandic articles of particular high quality. In 1979 the Greenland Home Rule Government took over the company and in 1990 it was formed as an independent limited company. Today, Royal Greenland is considered the economic flagship of Greenland.
Royal seafood
For centuries, Royal Warrants have been granted to firms and individuals servicing and supplying the Royal Family and the Royal Household. In 1985, Royal Greenland was granted such a warrant and we are proud to be a steady supplier of quality seafood to the Royal Danish Court.
Investing in the future
As a leading company on the seafood market we focus on improving our techniques and products to match the needs of the modern consumer.
Our latest investments include:
- A state of the art factory in Poland build to optimize the foundation of our production facilities. The plant is now the largest seafood plant in Europe.
- A new factory in Denmark focusing on MAP packaging technology.
Royal Greenland also cooperates with private and public research institutions in order to continue developing our processing, production and distribution techniques: Research and development
