Former manufacturer of plate and film holders in Frankfurt a.M., Germany. Started out around 1900 as a manufacturer of sheet metal toys and storage cabinets [1], expanded into film holders in the 1920s. In later years, all Rada holders also carried a Plaubel logo, they must have merged some time after WWII. The last Plaubel catalogues listing Rada holders seem to date back to the 1970s, but Plaubel (now in Japanese ownership) still exist in Frankfurt and make large format cameras.
The administration building at their former address:
Rada- Metallwarenfabrik
Frankfurt A.M. - RÖDELHEIM
In der Au 14-16
now hosts the longest standing alternative lifestyle project in Frankfurt, squatted in 1983[2] after a long period of abandonment, so Rada must have left years before that. No traces of Rada's production facilities are visible by now.
