Join Ramseier Suisse AG: Shape the Future of Swiss Beverages

About Ramseier Suisse AG: A Legacy of Swiss Quality and Natural Taste

Ramseier Suisse AG is not just a beverage company; it is a Swiss institution. For over a century, we have been crafting the finest fruit juices, ciders, and natural beverages, deeply rooted in the agricultural heartland of Switzerland. Our name is synonymous with quality, authenticity, and a profound respect for nature. We work hand-in-hand with thousands of Swiss farmers to transform the best of their harvest, especially the world-renowned Swiss apples, into products that are cherished in households across the country and beyond. Our production facilities are where this magic happens—a perfect blend of time-honored traditions and state-of-the-art technology. We are looking for dedicated individuals to join our team and become part of a story that is as rich and natural as our products.

At Ramseier, our philosophy is simple: the best taste comes from the best ingredients. This principle guides everything we do. Our factories are more than just production sites; they are centers of excellence for fruit processing. We have invested heavily in modern technology to ensure that we can capture the pure, unadulterated taste of Swiss fruit in every bottle. From gentle pressing and sophisticated filtration to aseptic filling and sustainable packaging, every step of our process is designed to preserve the natural quality of our ingredients. Our commitment to Swiss precision is evident in our rigorous quality control, our efficient logistics, and our unwavering focus on food safety. We are proud to be a leading producer of natural beverages, and we are constantly innovating to meet the evolving tastes of our consumers while staying true to our heritage.

Our Production Universe: Where Swiss Fruit Becomes Liquid Gold

Ramseier Suisse AG operates several state-of-the-art production facilities across Switzerland, each specializing in different aspects of beverage production. Our plants are a showcase of Swiss engineering and efficiency, designed to handle large volumes while maintaining the highest standards of quality and sustainability. Key aspects of our production include:

Fruit Reception and Processing: We have the capacity to receive and process thousands of tons of fresh fruit from our farming partners. Our gentle handling and rapid processing ensure that the fruit remains at its peak freshness.
Advanced Juice Extraction: We utilize modern pressing technologies that maximize juice yield while preserving the delicate flavor compounds and nutrients of the fruit.
Cider Fermentation Expertise: Our cideries are equipped with temperature-controlled fermentation tanks and a team of experienced cider makers who master the art of creating perfectly balanced and flavorful ciders.
Aseptic and Hot-Fill Bottling Lines: Our versatile bottling lines can handle a wide range of packaging formats, including glass bottles, PET bottles, and cartons, using both aseptic (cold-fill) and hot-fill technologies to ensure product safety and a long shelf life without the need for preservatives.
Automated Packaging and Palletizing: Our end-of-line packaging and palletizing systems are highly automated, ensuring efficiency and reliability in preparing our products for distribution.

A Diverse Portfolio of Natural Beverages

Our product range is a celebration of Swiss fruit. We offer a wide variety of beverages to suit every taste and occasion, all crafted with the same commitment to natural quality:

1. Premium Apple Juice (Apfelsaft)

The heart of our brand. We offer both clear and cloudy (naturtrüb) apple juices, as well as single-varietal and organic options. Our apple juice is made from 100% Swiss apples, never from concentrate.

2. Authentic Swiss Cider (Apfelwein)

We are one of Switzerland’s leading cider producers, offering a range of styles from sweet to dry. Our ciders are naturally fermented and capture the crisp, refreshing taste of Swiss cider apples.

3. Refreshing Spritzers (Schorle)

A Swiss favorite, our spritzers combine our pure fruit juices with sparkling mineral water for a light and refreshing drink. The apple spritzer is a classic, but we also offer other fruit variations.

4. Branded Beverages and Private Labels

In addition to our own Ramseier brand, we are a major producer of other branded beverages and a trusted partner for private label production for leading Swiss retailers. This demonstrates our flexibility and our ability to meet a wide range of customer needs.

5. Innovative and Functional Beverages

We are constantly innovating, developing new products such as fruit and vegetable juice blends, functional beverages with added vitamins, and low-sugar options to meet the growing demand for healthy and natural drinks.
