The
company which has itself developed to one of the most
important enterprises in manufacturing oil and fat for
food in Europe was established in 1872 in Morges in the
canton of Vaud. Its name in those early days - Morgia AG

beginning, the company's continuous development has been
based primarily on quality and on finding solutions
tailored exactly to the customer's needs. In 1987 the
company moved to its present location in Lyss (in the
canton of Bern), where it now has one of the most modern
production plants in Europe. In 1997, on the occasion of
its 125 anniversary, the company was renamed

oriented nature of its operations. In Switzerland, we
are leaders in the processing of fats in the field of
special- and organic products. Our goal is to become the
