History
The history of Paulig began in 1876, when German Gustav Paulig established a new company in Helsinki. Paulig had arrived in Finland from Lübeck, Germany, in 1871.
Finland was undergoing big changes, which brought big opportunities in the business. Paulig imported salt, coffee, spices, flours, port wine and cognac.
During the first decades, Paulig's office was located in Helsinki. Bertha Paulig, Gustav's wife, took care of the company after Gustav died in 1907.
Gustav's and Bertha's son, Eduard Paulig, was the managing director of the company 1919-1947. During the era of Eduard Paulig, the company developed into an important company in Finland.
Since 2008, the CEO and managing director has been Jaana Tuominen.
International business
When Baltic states declared their independence from Soviet union in 1991, Paulig started to do co-operation with other old chambers of commerce. Paulig started business in Saue, Estonia in 1993.
