BFG

In the autumn of 1998, AS Fiskevegn started developing automatic longline machines, and the need to separate it as its own company quickly became apparent. Therefore, a new company called Best Fishing Gear AS, or simply BFG, was founded in February 1999.

Our story

The forerunner of Fiskevegn started in Barmen in 1968. AS Fiskevegn was founded on 10 January 1973 at Vederhus in Selje municipality. Moved to the current location on Flatraket in 1982, with Stadhavet as the nearest neighbour. Many of our employees have extensive experience from working on board fishing boats, both inland and abroad.
