P/F Bakkafrost is an integrated aquaculture company based in the Faroe Islands, specializing in the production and sale of Atlantic salmon. The company oversees the entire value chain, from broodstock selection and hatchery operations to feeding, sea-farming and processing. By maintaining control over each stage of production, Bakkafrost aims to deliver high-quality salmon products that meet stringent sustainability and food-safety standards.
Founded in the late 1960s as a family-owned enterprise, Bakkafrost has expanded its footprint to become one of Europe’s leading salmon producers. The company operates multiple freshwater hatcheries and smolt facilities on the main islands and maintains numerous sea sites in sheltered fjords. In addition, Bakkafrost runs dedicated processing plants where harvested salmon are prepared for fresh and frozen markets, as well as for value-added products.
Bakkafrost markets its salmon to customers across Europe, North America and Asia, leveraging a global distribution network to supply retail, foodservice and industrial clients. The company emphasizes product traceability, animal welfare and environmentally responsible farming practices, including the use of advanced containment and delousing systems to minimize impact on marine ecosystems.
Under the leadership of Chief Executive Officer Regin Jacobsen, Bakkafrost continues to invest in breeding research, feed innovation and production technology. The board is chaired by Finnur Simonsen, and the company’s management team brings together expertise in aquaculture science, operations and international sales. Headquartered in Glyvrar, P/F Bakkafrost remains closely connected to its Faroese roots while pursuing growth in export markets worldwide.
