Slippurinn DNG, Glerártorg, and the Eyjafjörður Welfare Fund have joined forces for the Welfare Star project. All proceeds from the sale of the Welfare Star go directly to the Welfare Fund, supporting important community initiatives.

Árni, who celebrated his 65th birthday on November 16th, has dedicated his entire career to Slippurinn. He has been an invaluable employee, and his family also shares deep ties with the company. Árni's father worked here for many years, and his in-laws and other relatives have followed in his footsteps by working at Slippurinn. Árni began his career as a laborer at Slippurinn in 1974, trained as a ship carpenter, and became the foreman of the laborers in 1994 – a role he has performed with dedication and passion for 30 years. Árni's enthusiasm for ship docking and launching is well known. Who doesn’t remember him in his big boots and yellow helmet – always ready to take on the next challenge with his unique approach! We extend our heartfelt thanks to Árni for his invaluable contributions to Slippurinn and wish him all the best for the future. 🎈 Thank you for everything, Árni! 🙌
