Six years ago, KPS Group and BAADER launched a long-term partnership at KPS’s Radom facility in east-central Poland. What began as a single project- a full poultry processing line - has grown into a trust-based collaboration, creating measurable value across every stage of production.

True Performance means fewer drops, not higher peaks. With real-time data and AI vision, BAADER helps poultry processors detect deviations early, protect yield, and maintain efficiency every day.

North Coast is a third generation, family-owned American company. Building the business through deep relationships, solid trust, absolute dependability and unwavering integrity brought them to BAADER. In 2000 the North Coast Seafoods moved to the Boston Seaport District – where it is still situated. Today the company is also anchored in Boston, New Bedford and Cape Cod.

Reliable equipment is not only about performance, it is about how quickly that investment begins to generate value. Since establishing its operations in Homestead / Florida / USA in 2013, Atlantic Sapphire has an ambitious vision: to deliver safe, sustainable Atlantic salmon to the American market through innovation and responsible aquaculture. The company introduced its first product to U.S. consumers in 2019, marking a major milestone in its mission to transform salmon farming.

Starting as a small family farm in Ohio back in 1994, King’s Poultry has grown into one of the region’s most respected poultry processors. Founded by William King, who began raising chickens with a simple goal: delivering the highest quality products to families. When outside processors couldn’t meet his quality standards, King took matters into his own hands by starting a slaughtering line with the help of his five sons, thus beginning the company it is today.

“The big theme is stable output quality. Processors will win by combining flexibility, yield, value recovery, and operational robustness”, says Kjell Arthur Lind Olsen with his Norwegian perspective about the most important technology trends shaping seafood processing in 2026, in an interview ahead of the NASF.

“... we are constantly motivated to develop new solutions and never stand still”, says Finn Wiethölter who is Speaker at the NASF 2026. He presents BAADER’s Whitefish Portfolio and it’s role in shaping the future of whitfish processing. Before Finn travelled to the NASF, we had the opportunity to ask him a few questions.

Hendrik Hansen, Head of Control Systems R&D at BAADER, was invited as a guest speaker on the latest episode of the German Siemens podcast ‘Einblick. Zweiblick. Weitblick.’.

“The NASF brings together a lot of different players from various levels in the respective organizations. Hardly anywhere else can you find so much experience and interest in one room”, says Nils Rabe, our Global Sales Director before travelling to Bergen, where he is scheduled to speak twice this year.
