1929

First Contacts with England

Company founder Rudolph Baader pursued the mechanical production of the popular “kipper herring.” Recognising England’s potential as a key sales market, he established BAADER’s first overseas representation in 1929 through F.I.S.A.D. Co. (Fish Industrial Supply and Development Company).

1975

From the River Humber to Nationwide Reach

Founded in 1975 near the River Humber, first with a central warehouse in Hull, then expanding to a dedicated sales office in 1995 – always with a clear focus on serving customers across Britain and Ireland.
