About Nutriswiss
Nutriswiss AG, based in Lyss, specializes in the refining of high-quality, customized edible fats and edible oils and holds a leading position in Switzerland for specialty and organic products. Based on vegetable and animal raw materials such as rapeseed, sunflower, palm, palm kernel and coconut oil as well as cocoa butter, the company produces an extensive range of fats with specific properties. The processes include neutralization, bleaching, deodorization, fractionation, hardening, crystallization, interesterification, winterization and emulsifier addition; an SPD plant commissioned in 2020 reduces process contaminants and preserves nutrients. More than half of the range consists of exclusive products tailored to the processing needs of customers; for pharma and cosmetics, small batches of 500 to 2500 kg are produced. Customers include the food industry, gastronomy, retail as well as the pharma and cosmetics sector, including Coop and HALBA. In 2022, the Sildamin oil mill in Wohlen AG was acquired.
