Research & Development

State-of-the-art vehicle care for tomorrow's environment

New materials introduced by vehicle manufacturers, changing conditions and the pursuit of optimization determine the work in our in-house laboratory. Chemists and laboratory technicians develop, in close collaboration with raw material suppliers, meticulously new product developments, improve formulations and ensure quality assurance. Always true to the motto: «We are developing state-of-the-art vehicle care for tomorrow’s environment today.»

Production

Recepts up to date

All products undergo systematic testing of their formulas and ingredients before they are formulated and packaged. After that, quality assurance checks and approvals are carried out. Meeting the needs of the market, ensuring high effectiveness, easy and safe use, sufficient availability and cost-effectiveness: these are the guidelines that guide our development and production processes. For the benefit of our customers and the environment.

Bottling & Packaging

Ready to ship, packaged

On modern bottling lines, the products are filled from the mixing tanks into pre-prepared containers, packaged, and prepared for shipment on pallets. For our professional cleaning and care products, we use both new and used, cleaned packaging. We take back these cleaned packaging from our customers free of charge and reuse them, as far as their condition allows. In this way, we make another contribution to the environment and at the same time relieve our valued customers.

Sales & Distribution

From Zollikofen to the world

Our logistics ensure that orders arrive at the right time, in the right quantity and at the right place. The Swiss customers are supplied weekly from Zollikofen with five of their own trucks. The route planning takes into account as short a distance as possible, thereby relieving the environment. Products destined for foreign markets are shipped by truck, air freight or by water, according to the wishes of the customers.
