About IKONIKA | Controls and electrical, Fife, Washington

Since 1996, starting at sea

In 1996, IKONIKA started doing the controls on the processing factories of the fishing fleet that sails from Seattle to the Bering Sea. We have done the controls on those factories ever since, for most of that fleet.

The fleet taught us how we work.

A boat that is fishing cannot wait for help. That is where our Urgent Support comes from.

Working in a factory built into a ship takes Grit. We’re the roll-up-our-sleeves kind. Grit means boots on the floor, hands on the panel, and no excuses. How we work. Season after season with the same fleet made us Steadfast. We show up and get things done calmly but speedily. Our commitment doesn’t fade. It holds strong, season after season. How we work.

Today every plant and vessel we work on gets the same habits.

Run by its values

Our values name how the team already worked. They decide who we hire, what work we take on, and how we behave on your site or vessel.

People join us and stay. The engineer who learns your plant or vessel this year will still be here to support it in five.
