About us

Driven by our passion for continuous progress and our commitment to Swiss-standard quality, we have established a leading position within the chemical industry. Our core expertise lies in the development and manufacture of non-ionic and anionic surfactants.
 

We are well-versed in the field of surfactants across a range of applications. Our focus lies on the alkoxylation of complex starting materials with various oxiranes. Our product range also includes carboxylic acid esters, surfactant blends, formulated preparations and anionic surfactants, such as Turkish red oil, alkyl phosphates/sulphates and sulphosuccinates.

 

We look proudly back on a company history spanning almost 80 years.. At the same time, we are continuously developing our business to meet the demands of the market in the future. A key milestone was the acquisition of Hydrior AG in 2026. By integrating their product portfolio, we were able to expand our range of specialty surfactants in a targeted manner and further strengthen our market position in the cosmetics industry.

Thanks to our flexible production facilities, we are always able to respond to the diverse needs of our international clientele and offer convincing solutions.
