We have many happy memories of Lavioz.  in the winter when our son was four years old, that’s where he had lots playing the snow skiing and learning to ski and ice-skate. In the summer, lots of other things to discover all the kids play, we will be eating ice cream in the shade.

Innovations orginating in Switzerland.

Stir. It’s ready. ☕🇨🇭

In 1937, Swiss chemist Max Morgenthaler developed the first successful instant coffee at Nestlé in Vevey. By preserving both aroma and taste in a soluble form, he solved a challenge that had limited earlier attempts.

This innovation made coffee easier to store, transport and prepare, opening the way for widespread use beyond traditional brewing methods.

Instant coffee quickly spread across the world, from households to soldiers during World War II, thanks to its simplicity and practicality.

Today, it remains a widely used product, illustrating how a Swiss invention became part of everyday life around the globe.

Do you know other ?

🧴 Did you know? The hand sanitizer you probably used during the COVID-19 pandemic and might still use today was invented in Switzerland. 🇨🇭

Invented in 1976 at the Cantonal Hospital of Fribourg by William Griffiths, the hydroalcoholic gel formula was refined in the 1990s at the Geneva University Hospitals (HUG) by Professor Didier Pittet. ⚗️

Based on this product, the “Geneva hand hygiene model” was developed, revolutionizing hospital hand hygiene through its practicality and effectiveness in reducing healthcare-associated infections.

The formula for the alcohol-based solution was given to the World Health Organization (WHO).

Patent-free and easily reproducible, it can be produced at low cost worldwide, making it accessible even to the most disadvantaged populations and saving 8 million lives every year.
