SIGURD
LØKELAND`S CANNERY
- since 1922
Life
along the Norwegian coastline has never been short on challenges.
In order to survive through the centuries, the people that live
and work
there have had to think creatively and make use of nature`s resources.
Such was life for Sigurd Løkeland growing up on the outermost
reaches
of the Isle of Atløy in the beginning of the last century.
The enterprising young fisherman was full of initiative and established
Sigurd Løkeland`s Cannery in 1922. Here he received the daily
catches
from the local crab fishermen and refined them into canned goods.
Sigurd
Løkeland was a bold entrepreneur and his products were soon
synonymous with crabmeat of the finest quality. Today the operation
thrives under the care of the third generation of the Løkeland
family with
unique skill and a tradition of proud professionalism. Today`s technology
coupled with the natural resources of coastal Norway`s best crab
districts
creates the possibility for exciting new crab products while continuing
to
perpetuate Sigurd Løkelands vision of always delivering a
first class product.
