Our story

Who we are

Since 1986, VAKI has helped fish farmers work with greater precision, confidence and care. Founded in Iceland and serving customers worldwide, we develop technology that supports the everyday demands of aquaculture—from fish counting and biomass monitoring to pumping, grading and integrated fish handling. Our purpose is simple: to help our customers improve performance while protecting fish welfare and making better use of resources. The best solutions start with understanding the people who use them. By working closely with fish farmers, we turn practical experience and customer feedback into equipment, software and services that address real operational challenges. We bring together engineering expertise, industry knowledge and a commitment to reliable technology, our focus is on helping customers handle fish carefully, access meaningful data and make informed decisions. Our commitment continues throughout the life of our products. Through technical support, training and ongoing care, we help customers build their teams’ confidence and get lasting value from their VAKI solutions. Close collaboration between our service, sales and development teams keeps customer needs at the centre of our work.
