The story

Marel's began in 1977 with a project at the University of Iceland focused on developing motion-compensating onboard scales. The company itself was founded in 1983. Its primary business is developing and providing equipment, software, and services for automating processes in the poultry, meat, and fish industries. This includes automating tasks across various stages of production, from receiving, processing, packing, and final dispatch.

Marel engineers implemented early computer technology into food processing equipment, an area where it had not been used extensively. The design plan was to have an array of connected systems to increase automation in food processing.
