Kaldvík focuses on sustainable salmon farming and holds the AquaGAP certification, a distinction achieved by few salmon farmers. The company conducts its sea farming operations on the Eastern coast of Iceland.
The listing was celebrated with a closing bell ceremony yesterday at Randulff’s Sea House pier in Eskifjörður. Guðmundur Gíslason, Kaldvík’s CEO, rang the closing bell, marking the occasion.
“Listing on the Nasdaq First North Growth Market in Iceland is an important milestone for Kaldvík”, says Gudmundur Gislason, CEO of Kaldvík. “There has already been great interest among Icelandic investors, and the listing furthers our operational ambitions by enabling more investors to participate in the company’s growth story and value creation.”
“We welcome Kaldvík to the Nasdaq First North Growth market in Iceland”, says Magnus Hardarson, President of Nasdaq Iceland. “The listing strengthens the fish farming sector on the market, and we are excited follow their growth journey. We look forward to supporting them with increased investor exposure that comes with a listing.”
