Nomatek

What Nomatek does

Nomatek (P/F Nomatek) is an industrial equipment manufacturer founded in 1979 and headquartered in Tórshavn, Faroe Islands, specializing in custom-designed stainless steel and aluminum process equipment. The company operates from an integrated facility that combines offices, a 3D CAD (Inventor) design studio, storage, and a production workshop equipped with plasma cutters (up to 25 mm steel), CNC press brakes (220 tons), and certified stainless-steel welding capabilities. Its core portfolio spans six verticals: seafood processing equipment (fiskivinna), salmon farming equipment (alivinna), municipal water treatment plants (vatnviðgerð), swimming pool equipment (svimjihyljar), stainless steel construction (byggivinna), and municipal infrastructure (kommunur). Notable engineered products include automatic fish handling systems capable of 300 boxes per hour and one of the world's largest 60 m³ net washing machines.

The business operates on a project-based, sales-led model. Nomatek sells directly to enterprise and government customers in the Faroe Islands and Iceland, with engineers providing on-site consultancy and 3D visualization before fabrication. Revenue is generated from one-off manufacturing contracts (e.g., an 8 million DKK net washing system, a 4 million DKK water treatment plant) plus engineering advisory services. In parallel, the firm acts as the exclusive or primary in-country distributor for eight international brands (Grundfos, Iwaki Pumps, Hydrotech, Bernoulli, Heco, Camozzi, Welldana, BJ-Gear), creating a secondary distribution revenue stream. Customers include Vónin (a 15-year relationship), Hampiðjan in Iceland, and Faroese municipalities whose water systems collectively serve 40 villages.

Nomatek is privately held by local stakeholders, employs approximately 32 staff including 6 engineers/technicians, 17 craftspeople, and 9 apprentices, and was actively recruiting additional production workers in 2022 to support what the company describes as rapidly growing business. The legal entity is a Faroese public limited company (P/F), with no external institutional investors or public trading identified in the source data.
