History
NorthTaste Ltd. was founded in the Old Warehouse, at Höfn in East Iceland, 22 October 1999. The companys' objective is to open up new avenues and opportunities in the Icelandic fishing industry, by stimulating consumers' tastebuds for a fresh and rich taste of seafood. NorthIce grew out of the activities of North Ltd., which owns the knowledge upon which the activities of NorthIce are based. North Ltd. has applied for a patent for the method, whose inventors are mechanical engineer Bergur Benediktsson and Jón Bragi Bjarnason, biochemistry professor at the University of Iceland. Both of them are major shareholders and members of the Board of Directors of North Ltd. Bergur Benediktsson is managing director of the company. An agreement between NorthTaste Ltd. and North Ltd. ensures NorthIce exclusive global rights to exploit the patent to process flavour substances. NorthIce produces its flavour substances at Dalbraut 2 in Höfn, in Hornafjörður, East Iceland. The flavours were introduced in April 2000 and sales commenced a month later, in May.
