The Vivosan Story

An Idea with Vision

In 1994, the idea emerged to establish a distribution company in Switzerland specialising in innovative baby food and baby care products. At the time, there was a clear gap in the market for high-quality baby nutrition and baby products.

Our founder, Silvia Huber (CEO of DOMACO Dr. med. Aufdermaur AG), and the then Managing Director, Claude Henggli, recognised this opportunity at an early stage. Together, they conducted a detailed market study to identify how this gap could be filled and to develop a sustainable, future-oriented business model.

The Founding of Vivosan

Later that same year, Vivosan AG was founded in Lengnau, Switzerland, as a sister company of DOMACO Dr. med. Aufdermaur AG.

What began as a small, dedicated team with a shared vision quickly developed into a specialised distribution company for premium baby and family brands.

From the very beginning, Vivosan supplied the Swiss market with well-known brands such as Hipp, Avent, Rafael Salbe and Actipharm. Over the years, additional international brands joined the portfolio, including Nuvita, Twistshake, Tickless, NAÏF, Squitos, Citron, Gentleheel, Elvie, BIBS, Soonice Sunnies, Fraupow, Wondermom and Hoppstar.

Throughout this journey, our focus has always been on education, product knowledge and strong partnerships with specialist retailers.

Successful Brand Development

Over the years, we have successfully established many of our brands within the Swiss market to such an extent that some companies have gone on to establish their own Swiss subsidiaries and now operate independently within the country.

Other brands have remained part of our portfolio for many years and are available across all major distribution channels in Switzerland.

From a Small Team to a Key Market Player

Over the past 30 years and more, Vivosan has continued to evolve and grow. Through dedication, expertise and strong team spirit, we have transformed our business from a small operation into a significant player in the Swiss baby products market.

Along the way, we have had the privilege of welcoming many valued new partners while further strengthening long-standing relationships.

What unites us is a shared understanding of entrepreneurship: a business model built on quality, innovation, sustainability and mutual trust. Combined with respect, enthusiasm and a passion for pioneering products, these values continue to guide us as we look towards the future.
