In 1910, OILWIND began as Harald Joensen's blacksmith shop . During its first years, the company primarily serviced the Faeroese fishing fleet, but with clear vision and hard work, the Joensens made good progress developing and manufacturing equipment and machinery for the fishing industry.
OILWIND jigging machines work very well in the north Atlantic waters and most people are now ordering electrically powered machines in preference to hydraulic power...Phil Lockley, Fishing News International.

In 1998, Alaska Fishing Machines was started by fisherman Dave Kubiak in order to provide OILWIND jigging machines to cod fishermen in Kodiak. Alaska. Why? Because they are the best and he wanted them on his boat. OILWIND products are innovative, reliable, and well made. Asked about starting a repair station on Kodiak for OILWIND products, Jakup Joensen replied, "You won't make money on that. They don't often need repair." Since then, Alaska Fishing Machines has sold jiggers to fishermen from Alaska, Canada, the East Coast, Bermuda, and Far East Russia. "With modern shipping and communications, ordering from Alaska is just as convenient as your phone." Alaska Fishing Machines: Dave Kubiak PO Box 193, Kodiak, Alaska 99615 Phone 907 486 5536 |
