Biography

Due to his young age, it was his mother who formally owned the company which was therefore named “Priess & Co”. Anders traded in fish he bought from local fishermen, much to the dismay of older traders, who did not welcome the competition. This was made very clear to Anders when he was slapped on the face and thrown into the water by a competitor with a remark that “we don’t want children buying up our fish around here”. But despite such setbacks, Anders was determined to succeed and over the years his business flourished. In time, he started his own family and he passed on his determination and business skills to his sons Henning and Tage. They joined the company in the 1930s and eventually took over from their father. At that point, “Priess & Co” had expanded into many kinds of seafood and in connection with the change of generation, it was divided into two separate companies.
