Excellent Start to the SPG Barcelona 2025 Seafood Expo
6. maí 2025
The SPG Barcelona seafood expo kicked off in grand style, with the first day concluding with great success. Representatives from Slippurinn DNG were very pleased with the strong attendance at their stand and the interest their solutions generated among visitors.
High attendance at the Slippurinn DNG stand at the Barcelona seafood expo – visitors showed great interest in the company’s solutions in both ship services and processing technology.
Magnús Blöndal, Director of DNG Processing Equipment, and Bjarni Pétursson, Director of Slippurinn Ship Service, both expressed their satisfaction with the day. “The response exceeded our highest expectations,” said Magnús. Bjarni agreed, adding that the expo provided an ideal venue to meet current clients and establish new connections.
The exhibition lasts three days, and the first day was seen as a highly promising start. Slippurinn DNG views its participation as an important step in strengthening business relationships—both domestically and internationally—in two key areas: ship maintenance services and the presentation of cutting-edge fish processing technology for operations at sea and on land.

We welcome Daði Tryggvason to our team as the new Project Manager and Head of DNG Jigging Reels. Daði brings extensive and practical experience from both the fishing industry and public administration, which will serve him well in this new role. He holds a BSc degree in Fisheries Science from the University of Akureyri and has worked for over two decades on a wide range of projects within the sector. This includes many years at sea, both on trawlers and jigging boats equipped with DNG jigging reels. First-hand user experience with the company’s equipment is invaluable — particularly when it comes to product development and customer service. In addition to his time at sea, Daði has worked in aquaculture and most recently as a fisheries specialist at the Directorate of Fisheries, where he was responsible for quota allocations, licensing (including ICCAT and CITES), and customer relations. We look forward to the collaboration and are confident that Daði’s experience and insight will support the continued development of DNG Jigging Reels. https://www.slippurinndng.is/faeravindur
Við bjóðum Daða Tryggvason velkominn til liðs við okkur sem nýjan verkefnastjóra og yfirmann DNG Færavinda. Daði kemur með víðtæka og hagnýta reynslu úr sjávarútvegi og opinberri stjórnsýslu, sem mun nýtast vel í hans nýja hlutverki. Hann er með BSc gráðu í sjávarútvegsfræði frá Háskólanum á Akureyri og hefur starfað í yfir tvo áratugi við fjölbreytt verkefni innan greinarinnar. Þar á meðal má nefna áralanga sjómennsku bæði á togurum og handfærabátum, sem voru búnir færavindum frá DNG. Sú þekking sem fylgir beinni notendareynslu af búnaði fyrirtækisins er dýrmæt, sérstaklega þegar kemur að vöruþróun og þjónustu við viðskiptavini. Auk þess hefur Daði starfað í fiskeldi og síðast sem sérfræðingur í fiskveiðum hjá Fiskistofu, þar sem hann sinnti meðal annars úthlutun kvóta, leyfisveitingum (þar á meðal ICCAT og CITES) og viðskiptatengslum. Við hlökkum til samstarfsins og trúum því að reynsla og innsýn Daða styrki áframhaldandi þróun DNG Færavinda. https://www.slippurinndng.is/faeravindur
Til hamingju með sjómannadaginn – við sendum sjómönnum og fjölskyldum þeirra hlýjar kveðjur og þökkum fyrir mikilvægt starf á sjó.
