G.L. Gaiser (original) (raw)

G.L. Gaiser was a German firm headquartered in Hamburg that was engaged in a large trading operation in West Africa during the latter part of the nineteenth century. The firm was founded by Gottlieb Leonhard Gaiser in 1859 and began business by operating palm kernel crushing mills. To secure raw materials for its mills, Gaiser delved into importing supplies from west Africa where it later became prominent in the export trade in Lagos between 1880 and 1900.
