The Nordischer Maschinenbau Rud. Baader GmbH and Co. KG or BAADER Group is a German mechanical engineering company based in Lübeck (Schleswig-Holstein).
The family-run company specializes in the construction of machines and processing lines for processing fish, poultry and meat. In the early 1920s, it developed the world's first topping and deboning machine for fish.
history
The company founder Rudolph Max Joseph Baader (* 1885 in Leipzig , † 1953 in Lübeck ) was a master locksmith and engineer. He married in 1913.
On July 29, 1919, Baader's company "Nordischer Maschinenbau" was entered in the commercial register in Lübeck. It later traded in Nordischer Maschinenbau Rud. Baader around. The company was initially based on Lübeck's old town island in the street Wakenitzmauer .
In 1920 Baader founded a research institute for the fish industry in Lübeck. In the 1920s he handed it over to the Association of Fish Industries , based in Hamburg. The Federal Research Institute for Fisheries was created in 1952 from the "Institute for Fish Processing " , today part of the Johann Heinrich von Thünen Institute in Hamburg-Altona .
Baader developed the world's first capping and deboning machine for fish, which he presented in 1922 at the “Lübeck Fisheries Exhibition”. Until then, fish were decapitated and boned by hand. By founding the publishing house “Der Fisch” in 1922, Rudolf Baader also made the scientific innovations as well as the knowledge and practiced technologies of fish processing available to the general public in the individual companies. Because the topping and deboning machine revolutionized fish processing. In the 1920s, Baader began to rent out its machines, which were now highly traded everywhere: the leasing system expanded across the entire North Sea region.
Baader came onto the market in 1928 with the first fish skinning machine; The first clip fish machine followed in 1930 .
In 1933 the company manufactured a forerunner of the later filleting systems. In the meantime, fish are recorded with an image processing system, wrong fish species are sorted out and the desired fish species are processed. In the case of electronically measured fish, the knives are set so that the cut fillets have a uniform size.
After the end of the Second World War, the company expanded further and made its breakthrough in 1951 with the Baader 99 , a cod filleting machine.
After the company's founder died in 1953, his son Rudolf GT Baader (* 1929 in Lübeck; † 1994 ), who had completed an apprenticeship as an industrial mechanic and was still studying business administration at the time (graduated in 1956), took over.
In 1955 the first Baader fish processing machines were used on factory ships . In 1959/1960 the company settled on Geniner Strasse in Lübeck. 1965 founded Baader in the fishing port of Bremerhaven , the company Baader plant Bremerhaven . Baader has been manufacturing packaging machines since the 1970s. In the 1960s, the company further developed meat de-tendon machines.
In 1988 the company had sales of around 200 million marks. In the same year, fish processing machines accounted for 90 percent of total sales; the export share was 90 percent. In 1989, Baader equipped six Soviet fishing and factory ships built in the GDR with his machines. The order had a volume of 5.6 million marks.
In 1992 Baader bought the Bremerhaven machine factory "Schlotterhose GmbH & Co KG". The company, founded in 1906, was a leader in the construction of fishmeal plants.
In 1994 the company had 1,100 employees, subsidiaries in Bremerhaven, the USA, Canada, Iceland, Great Britain, Denmark, Russia and Namibia as well as agencies and service stations in more than 70 countries. In the area of manufacturing machines for the fish industry, it had a global share of 80 percent. The annual turnover of the Baader Group amounted to around 200 million marks, of which around 160 million marks went to the company Nordischer Maschinenbau.
In 1995, Rudolf GT Baader's daughter, Petra Baader (* 1961) took over management of the company. She had already worked on the management board for five years.
In 1997 Baader took over the US company "Johnson Food Equipment", a manufacturer of poultry processing machines. On August 7, 2007, Baader took over the majority of the shares in the Danish company "LINCO Food Systems A / S".
On May 27, 2009, the complete takeover of "Linco" followed. This not only made Baader the world market leader for fish processing machines, but also advanced to become the third largest supplier of poultry processing machines.
In 2011 the salmon filleting machine 581 was introduced. Today's high-performance machines from Baader, for example in herring processing, can cut up to 24,000 fish fillets per hour, in the poultry sector up to 12,000 pieces can be processed.
Business areas and products
Fish and poultry processing make up 95 percent of total sales, but Baader has also been a leading manufacturer of soft separators for more than 40 years . The term “Baader” was even coined here: Baader is a process for separating soft and solid parts and Can be used in a variety of ways, for example for the removal of sinews and residual meat from red meat and poultry, the production of fish farce from split fish and trimmings, as well as the puree and juice production from fruit and vegetables.
Another business area is the “depacking” and recycling of food, such as incorrectly packaged food, in which the packaging is mechanically separated from the goods and the food is further processed.

Baader offers a dual study program for business informatics and computer science engineering.
The company is one of the 97 cooperation partners of the Nordakademie , the private university of business based in Elmshorn .
It sponsored the project “Together for Peace”, in which in 2004 around 300 young musicians from seven countries bordering the Baltic Sea performed Benjamin Britten's War Requiem in the former clinker brick factory of Neuengamme concentration camp and in Lübeck Cathedral .
