About Swissvax
Swissvax is a Swiss manufacturer of vehicle and boat care products founded in 1930 by Hans Anwander, with the wax manufactory located in Fällanden near Zurich. The range includes Carnauba waxes with Carnauba contents of 30 to 81 vol.%, silicone- and solvent-free polishes (Cleaner Fluid Regular/Medium/Strong) for hand and machine polishing, car shampoos, leather and interior care, textile waterproofing, teak care as well as metal and chrome care. The waxes are handcrafted in the manufactory, can by can; a multi-hour production process creates double-walled microparticles (microencapsulation). The raw materials are Brazilian Grade One Carnauba, organic beeswax, PTFE and graphene. Swissvax develops and manufactures brand-eigen OEM care programmes, including for Rolls-Royce, Bugatti and since 2008 for Aston Martin; further brand cooperations include Porsche, Lamborghini and Harley-Davidson. Distribution in Germany is handled by SWISSVAX Logistics UG in Konstanz with worldwide shipping.
