Bastoncini Findus

Bastoncini Findus, often associated with the iconic character 'Capitan Findus', are a staple of the Italian frozen food market. Although fish fingers were originally conceptualized by Birds Eye in the UK during the 1950s, the Findus brand brought the product to Italy in 1967.

Today, the production for the Italian market is centralized in the historic factory located in Cisterna di Latina, Italy. This facility has seen significant recent investments to enhance energy efficiency and maintain its position as a primary production hub. The brand has transitioned through various owners over the decades, including Nestlé and Unilever, before becoming part of the Nomad Foods portfolio. Nomad Foods, headquartered in the United Kingdom, is now the leading frozen food company in Europe, managing a suite of famous brands including Birds Eye and Iglo alongside Findus.
