About Harmångers Maskin & Marin
Harmångers Maskin & Marin has its manufacturing and sales operations in Stocka, just north of Hudiksvall.
In the early 1990s, Christer Lundin began to develop seal-proof fishing gear. Christer, a former commercial fisherman, was dissatisfied with his situation and that of his colleagues. Their fishing gear was not adapted to deal with the growing seal population and was neither effective nor humane. The company was subsequently commissioned by Projekt Sälar & Fiske (The Seals & Fisheries Program) to develop seal-proof gear. The result was the pontoon trap, also known as a push-up trap.
The new gear has had a major impact on Swedish and Finnish coastal fisheries and has successfully helped to reduce damage caused by seals. Since the gear was introduced to the market, we have manufactured and delivered about 700 pontoon fish chambers with accessories.
Manufacture
We develop, manufacture and sell gear and accessories. We have a modern, custom-built manufacturing unit with large premises for efficient production. Our welding department is responsible for the fabrication of all aluminium parts.
