About Scanmar
The pioneer of cable-free catch systems in 1980, and the world leader of development and production for the global fishing industry ever since.
Built with the people who fish
Close collaboration with fishermen, research institutes, service partners and others in the industry has given the knowledge to develop products with high utility value, ensuring increased efficiency and cost savings.
Scanmar’s sensors and bridge systems are acknowledged for their advanced technology and high quality, and we constantly aim to improve the products by listening to customers and users. Since the beginning, Scanmar has invested around 50 million euro in the development of robust, reliable and innovative products.
The Bible and the Textbook
Scanmar was born from many trips on board fishing vessels, trawling for white fish, pelagic fish and shrimp. Competent dealers did not exist, because nobody knew this type of product, so the knowledge had to be shared from Scanmar itself.
The answer was a little newspaper, Scanmar Info. Over the years there have been 50 to 60 editions of 16 to 32 pages, distributed to thousands of fishing companies, vessels, officers and crew all over the world. In Spain it is often called the Bible, and in Russia the Textbook.
