Pisiffik A/S is a chain of Greenlandic stores. The company is the largest privately owned commercial company in Greenland, and is a subsidiary jointly owned by NorgesGruppen, the Norwegian grocery wholesaling group, the Danish investment company KFI, and , a state-owned investment firm.

History[]

Pisiffik was first established in 1993 as KNI Pisiffik A/S,[1] a subsidiary of Greenland's KNI conglomerate. Based in Greenland's larger towns, it was an experiment in running the stores without a government subsidy, while KNI Pilersuisoq continued to operate the more distant and less profitable outposts. The present Pisiffik A/S was spun off as a separate company in 2001 when Danish company Dagrofa bought Pisiffik as part of a privatization of parts of KNI.[2] Dagrofa sold its shares to the current owners in 2015.[3][4] In 2016, the headquarters were moved from Sisimiut to Nuuk.[5]
