About Swiss Hygienics

Swiss Hygienics® GmbH, based in Schindellegi (Canton Zug, Switzerland), manufactures ViZero®, a disinfection product obtained from the natural raw materials salt and water via an electrolysis process (ECA). The resulting anolyte is virucidal, bactericidal, fungicidal, levurocidal and sporicidal and gently dissolves existing biofilm in pipelines. Production uses specially developed plant components, including a membrane technology developed exclusively with the Fraunhofer Institute. The product family comprises the base product ViZero® as well as ViZero® Water Treatment for the disinfection of drinking water systems. Fields of application include surface disinfection, process and cooling water in industry, drinking water hygiene in buildings, and applications in agriculture. The company sees itself as an on-site advisory provider and places a focus on health and environmental protection.
