About Hampidjan Australia
In the spring of 1934, during the height of the Great Depression, thirteen captains and engineers came together in Reykjavík, Iceland, to form a production company. Their mission was to address a critical shortage of commercial fishing gear—specifically trawl nets, tows, and fishing lines—for the Icelandic fishing fleet.
They named the company HAMPIDJAN.
Since then, Hampidjan has grown into a global leader in advanced rope technology, specializing in solutions for the Offshore, Maritime, Mining, Defence, Seismic and Commercial Fishing industries. Today, we operate in 72 locations across 21 countries, with more than 2,000 employees worldwide.
Hampidjan is proudly listed on Nasdaq Iceland, a milestone that has supported our strategic growth, including the acquisitions of Vonin, Morenot, and Kohinoor Ropes.
