Iglo is a leading European brand in the frozen food category, most famous for its fish fingers and frozen vegetables. The brand's history is deeply intertwined with the development of the frozen food industry in Europe during the mid-20th century. Originally launched in the 1950s, it became a household name across several European markets, often associated with the iconic 'Captain Iglo' mascot who promotes the quality and freshness of their seafood products.

Manufacturing of Iglo fish products primarily takes place in Bremerhaven, Germany, which houses one of the largest frozen food production facilities in the world. This site is responsible for producing the vast majority of the fish sticks sold across the continent. The brand emphasizes sustainability, frequently sourcing its white fish from MSC-certified fisheries to ensure long-term ocean health.

Today, Iglo is a flagship brand of Nomad Foods, a British-headquartered company that was formed specifically to build a portfolio of leading European frozen food businesses. Nomad Foods acquired the Iglo Group (which included the Birds Eye brand in the UK and Ireland) in 2015. This ownership structure has consolidated some of Europe's most recognizable frozen food labels under a single corporate umbrella, focused on driving innovation and sustainability in the frozen aisle.
