We are excited to announce that Viggo Brevik is joining KAPP as our new Sales Director for Europe!
 
With the appointment of Viggo as Sales Director for Europe, we are taking steps to strengthen KAPP's global presence and enhance our local reach for our customers in Norway. Viggo most recently held the position of Vice President of Global Sales at Optimar, where he led the sales team for both onboard and onshore segments.
 
With over 30 years of experience in the maritime and fisheries industries, Viggo's journey began at 16 when he went to sea right after high school and worked his way up from galley boy to Factory Manager. He spent 28 years at sea on trawlers, longliners, and small vessels in the North Atlantic, including regions such as Russia, Greenland, and Canada.
 
After relocating to New Zealand, he spent five years aboard trawlers and seven seasons fishing for krill in Antarctica with Aker BioMarine. In 2014, Viggo transitioned to shore-based roles, serving as Fleet Production Manager and General Manager in Uruguay before joining Optimar in 2020.
 
We are thrilled to have Viggo on board and eagerly anticipate his first day at KAPP, which we expect to be in early June.
 
Welcome to KAPP, Viggo!
