The history of Paulig began in 1876, when German Gustav Paulig  [ fi ] 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  [ fi ], Gustav's wife, took care of the company after Gustav died in 1907.
