VEIDAR, Freezer longliner (NO) - fishing with Mustad Autoline DeepSea System

We are very satisfied with Mustad Autoline. The supplier excels in both quality and service. For many years, we have used the autoline system aboard our vessels, and we are pleased with it. The equipment provided is robust, which is crucial for us as we operate far out at sea in all kinds of weather and at great depths. The relationship and trust we have with Mustad Autoline are excellent. The personnel and specialists we interact with are stable and reliable, which we see as a positive and significant advantage. This makes collaboration easier, allowing us to learn, develop, and improve the equipment along the way.

ALBIUS, SAPMER (FR) fishing with E-Line for toothfish since 2022

We have been working with the all-electric longline fishing system for 2 years now.

After these months of operation we have not had any major problems. Working on deep waters (2000 meters) we asked Mustad for adjustments to the reactivity of the hauler. It is obvious that the electric control is precise and sensitive. The different settings make it possible to optimize the behavior of the vessel in relation to waves and the speed of the line retrieval.

For sailors, captains and chief engineers, this generation of electrical system is well thought out. The baiting process is the greatest advantage. We can use multiple bait sizes and change hook sizes very easily.

I also want to commend the Mustad after-sales service technician team. They are professional, attentive, and a pleasure to work with!

HAVFRONT LOPPA 100 - made by Mustad Autoline

With great respect for the solid work that has gone into the development of Havfront products, we would like to inform you that Mustad Autoline has now taken over and continues to produce these high-quality products. We have integrated the production at our facility in Gjøvik, ensuring both high quality and continuity in deliveries.

Among these products is the HAVFRONT Loppa 100 – the world’s most compact machine specifically designed for heading and gutting fish onboard vessels. The Loppa 100 is both innovative and user-friendly, optimizing the workflow on coastal fishing vessels from 9 meters, as well as larger sea-going vessels. There are over 60 machines in operation in the Norwegian market today, with solid feedback from users.

The Loppa 100 handles fish ranging from 1 to 12 kilograms and offers a reliable and efficient solution that replaces manual gutting and heading. The machine’s robust design is perfect for vessels looking to improve workflow and reduce manual, labor-intensive tasks.

The machine is highly efficient, requires minimal maintenance, and is built to last – a cost-effective investment for vessels aiming to increase productivity.

Mustad Autoline is acquiring the assets of Havfront AS with the intention of continuing its technology and relocating production to Gjøvik

Securing Jobs and Continuing Expertise

We have great respect for the work done at Havfront. Significant effort has been invested in realizing the entrepreneurial venture, resulting in the production of high-quality products.

As part of the acquisition, Mustad Autoline aims to include key personnel from Havfront AS to preserve essential expertise that ensures continuity in customer relations, development, and production. We are currently in the takeover phase, and it will take some time before we are fully operational in parts delivery and service. We are already in contact with customers and will keep the market continuously updated.

Increased Capacity and Production in Gjøvik

The acquisition of Havfront AS provides Mustad Autoline with exciting additional products to the existing product range, which is currently fully produced in Gjøvik. Havfront’s products, smaller gutting and cutting machines for whitefish, are based on similar technology and production processes and fit well into the factory’s existing production facilities. With Havfront products, we utilize capacity and strengthen production in Gjøvik.

Long-Term Ambition

“The acquisition of Havfront AS’s estate is a strategically important decision for Mustad Autoline,” says CEO Anders Frisinger. The design and technical solutions of Havfront products are on par with Mustad Autoline machines and fit well into the company’s vertical integration. We can assure that Mustad Autoline has long-term and ambitious plans for the future of Havfront products.

Mustad Autoline overtar boet etter Havfront AS med ønske om å videreføre teknologien og legge produksjonen til Gjøvik

Sikrer arbeidsplasser og viderefører ekspertise
Vi har stor respekt for det arbeidet som er gjort i selskapet Havfront. Det er lagt ned betydelig innsats i å realiser gründervirksomheten som har resultert i produksjon av svært gode produkter av høy kvalitet.
Som en del av overtakelsen ønsker Mustad Autoline å ta med nøkkelpersonell fra Havfront AS for å bevare viktig ekspertise som sikrer kontinuitet i både kundekontakt, utvikling og produksjon. Vi er nå i en overtakelses fase og det vil ta noe tid før vi er fullt operative på deleleveranser og service. Vi er allerede i dialog med kunder og vil holde markedet løpende oppdatert.

Økt kapasitet og produksjon på Gjøvik
Overtakelsen av Havfront AS gir Mustad Autoline spennende tilleggsprodukt til eksisterende produktsortimentet som i dag produseres i sin helhet på Gjøvik. Havfront-produktene, mindre sløye- og kappemaskiner for hvitfisk, er basert på tilsvarende teknologi og produksjonsprosesser og passer godt inn i fabrikkens eksisterende produksjonsfasiliteter. Med Havfront produktene utnytter vi kapasiteten og styrker produksjonene på Gjøvik

langsiktig ambisjon
“Overtakelsen av boet etter Havfront AS er en strategisk viktig beslutning for Mustad Autoline” sier administrerende direktør Anders Frisinger. Havfront produktenes design og tekniske løsninger er helt på høyde med Mustad Autoline maskin og passer godt in i selskapets vertikale integrasjon.  Vi kan forsikre at Mustad Autoline tenker langsiktig og ambisiøst om Havfront produktenes fremtid.
