History

Marel was founded in 1983 when some young engineers at the University of Iceland began to experiment with electronics and early computers. Rögnvaldur Ólafsson, Jón Þór Ólafsson, Pétur Jónsson, and Tómas Ríkarðsson identified the needs of many fish processors in Iceland to quickly and accurately weigh fish as they were being processed to minimize the giveaway of product, and withstand the harsh and wet conditions of fish processing plants.The Marel engineers focused on implementing early computer technology into food processing equipment, an area where it had not been used extensively. The design plan was to have an array of interconnected systems to increase automation in food processing.
