Fredman Group
About us
Key figures:
Fredman Group is a Finnish company founded in 1997 that manufactures high-quality kitchen supplies and food packaging solutions. We make everyday kitchen work easier with practical solutions that support good food, offering products that are always on the side of food. Peltolan Pussi, a Tampere-based manufacturer of paper bags, became part of Fredman Group in 2026.
The majority of Fredman’s kitchen products are manufactured at our factory in Rauma using renewable electricity. In 2025, our net sales amounted to EUR 36 million (pro forma).
Early 2024 introduced a major shift in the way Fredman Group is run. To help fuel international growth for the company’s kitchen product and packaging solutions business, a new majority owner, the private equity investor Korona Invest, was announced.
The story of Fredman stems from a love for cooking. The journey towards what the company is today began in the 1990s when a kitchen product company founded by Christian Fredman merged with a local paper processing business.
The company started manufacturing its iconic kitchen and cooking products at its own factory in Rauma, Finland. The range included product categories such as baking paper, cling film, and fibre cloths. These products soon became established domestic brands and staples in both home and professional kitchens.
In the early 2000s, Fredman Group transitioned to a fully family-owned business with Christian’s sons, Clas and Peter, joining the company. The company continued to innovate with products like the Comple® food packaging system, which gained significant popularity in professional kitchens, particularly in the care sector.
Fredman’s heart has always remained in our factory in Rauma, which today operates entirely on renewable electricity.
With a strong domestic market presence and increasing amount of our revenue coming from exports, our range of iconic and kitchen products is trusted for quality by both home cooks and professional chefs. Examples include the only coffee filters and baking paper made in Finland and the fibre cloths loved by chefs.
Today, Fredman serves both professional kitchens and home cooks with our Fredman-branded products. In addition, we provide private label manufacturing for international retail partners. With our extensive experience working with catering businesses worldwide, we also specialize in creating innovative, branded, or custom food packaging solutions for our food service customers.
Our mission is to promote cooking that makes everyday life in the kitchen easier for both home and professional cooks.
Together, we stand on the food side.
