Former manufacturer of plate and film holders in Frankfurt a.M., Germany. The company started out around 1900 as a manufacturer of sheet metal toys and storage cabinets [1], expanded into film holders in the 1920s.[2] 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.
Rada made the following items for the photographic trade
- metal plate holders
- metal roll film holders
- metal stereo viewers[3]

In der Au 14-16 now hosts the longest standing alternative lifestyle project in Frankfurt, squatted in 1983 after a long period of abandonment, so Rada must have left many years before that. No traces of Rada's production facilities are visible by now. Autonomous Cultural Centre and Living Project. - ↑ Rada Standard II Stereo Viewer ca. 1955
