Involved in a Wide Range of Innovation Projects
Since its founding, Héðinn has taken the initiative in its own diverse innovation projects, but has also contributed to the projects of others with its expertise and experience.
Brothers in Charge
The brothers Sverrir and Guðmundur Sveinn, sons of Helga (daughter of Héðinn’s founder Markús Ívarsson) and Sveinn Guðmundsson, who served as the company’s CEO for 47 years, shared the leadership of Héðinn from 1983 to 2016.
Restructuring of Ownership
The method of separating out as independent companies those parts that had developed within Héðinn outside the core business greatly simplified the possibilities for changes in the company’s ownership.
