'Working together we will offer our customers the widest range of quality longlining gear and equipment on the market', say Dyrkorn and Mustad. 'This new partnership means we can produce our swivelled longlines more efficiently and more competitively, to the benefit of all of our customers. Being stronger and more competitive puts us in an excellent position to expand into the growing international market, where there is great potential.'
Longline production machinery has been moved to Dyrkorn's headquarters and factory on the quayside in Ã…lesund, where all production will take place from early June. By combining their expertise and different technologies, the two companies can offer an unbeatable range of swivelled longlines, ranging in size from 5.5mm to 11.5mm in diameter, and mounted with metal or plastic stoppers and a variety of different swivel designs. All of the longlines are made using specially produced ropes in pure polyester or danline/polyester mix.Both companies stress the importance of producing the gear in Norway.
Norway is home to the world's largest and most successful Autoline fleet, and daily contact with the fishermen gives them the feedback they need to produce the best, high-catch, low-maintenance fishing gear. Norway also has a very long tradition in gear manufacture, giving them the experience and expertise needed to produce the very best quality.
Export sales will be handled by Mustad.
Closer co-operation enables Mustad and Dyrkorn to offer total longlining packages to fishing vessel owners and shipyards worldwide.
