About Arctic Import
THE NORTH ATLANTIC IS OUR HOME TURF
Arctic Import is a family-owned company. Since it was founded in 1978, it has developed into one of the strongest market leaders in Greenland within B2B wholesale with a focus on local social responsibility and commitment. It is no coincidence that we are named Arctic Import. The North Atlantic is our home turf and everyday life here is our passion. Arctic Import’s business focuses on the Greenlandic, Faroese, and Icelandic markets, and the company is a specialized trade partner cooperating with public institutions and private companies with a particularly wide range of retail, food and non-food products.
The customer portfolio is very diverse, from smaller businesses with day-to-day deliveries to larger hotel chains, restaurants, the building- and construction industry, the healthcare system as well as public institutions and private companies. Our competences and service have been further strengthened over the years, and today, Arctic Import is a distributor and trade partner in both Greenland and the rest of the North Atlantic.
Service, insightful consultancy and efficient logistics form a natural part of the experience when customers do business with Arctic Import. Our services are provided not only to the larger cities of the North Atlantic, but also in the most remote areas in the north. Today, Arctic Import counts 120 employees.
To bring our services as close to our customers as possible, Arctic Import has a wholesale warehouse and office in Nuuk (Greenland) and in Tórshavn (the Faroe Islands) as well as an office in Aalborg (Denmark). It is important to us to be close to our customers, know their challenges and needs and always go the extra mile to service any customer. We assist in enduring the crucial supply chain security – within grocery retailing, tourism, and the construction and raw materials industries.
Transport Experts
We have experts who know what it takes, and strong partnerships in logistics. We manage the process when goods need to be shipped from Denmark to the North Atlantic countries, and from a local warehouse out to the customers.
At your service
To us It's crucial that all employees understand and respect that there is always a customer on the other end. It's our responsibility to ensure that each customer feels welcomed and valued by our company.
We educate you
We are an A-member of CSR Greenland, and we place a high priority on employing Greenlandic labor, as well as on the basic and further education of local workers. We continuously seek new local employees in all our markets.
VALUES AND CULTURE
Values help define our culture — they are an essential part of the everyday environment we work in.
These values tell us who we are and how we treat each other. They are important not only in relation to our employees but also in relation to our customers and partners. It is crucial that both the company and the employees mutually commit to these values. We believe in long-term relationships where we collaborate, support one another, and together develop an attractive work environment and a successful business.
Sponsorship Policy
As a strong conglomerate in the North Atlantic, we see it as our duty to take responsibility for all our activities and contribute to the positive development of the communities we are part of. Every year, Arctic Import supports activities that help children and youth in local communities get a good start in life, thereby better equipping them to thrive in society.
Among others, we support initiatives such as Stop Cancer in Greenland and many other local children's projects.
Our primary purpose with the sponsorship support we provide is:
- To support projects and initiatives that create value for the local community.
- To provide financial support or physical products to specific projects that benefit disadvantaged children.
- Individuals or associations through a fixed membership fee.
