Rügen Fisch Canned Fish

Rügen Fisch is a steeped-in-tradition brand originating from the island of Rügen in northern Germany. The brand is a hallmark of the German fishing industry, specifically known for its high-quality canned herring, mackerel, and sprats. The manufacturing primarily takes place in Sassnitz, Germany, utilizing the facilities of Rügen Fisch GmbH, which is one of the most modern fish processing plants in Europe.

In terms of ownership, the brand underwent a significant transition in recent years. While it was originally a prominent East German cooperative and later a private family-held company, it was acquired by the Thai Union Group, a global leader in the seafood industry. This acquisition allowed the local German heritage to be supported by a massive global supply chain and distribution network, ensuring the brand remains a staple in supermarkets across Germany and beyond.
