THE COMPANY BEHIND SWISS LACHS

Swiss Lachs AG is growing salmon in an indoor farm in Lostallo, a beautiful unspoiled area in the Italian part of the Canton Graubünden. Our farm uses the newest aquaculture technology making us the cleanest and most sustainable fishfarms in the world.

The local farming not only saves transport routes but also guarantees previously unattained freshness. Swiss Lachs AG farms according to the highest quality standards and consistently focuses on naturalness on all levels from farming to smoking. From farm to plate it has never been so fast.

The salmon grow up entirely free from chemicals and antibiotics. Swiss Lachs AG is changing the way we think about fish. It is time to eat better – it is time to eat healthy and Swiss fish.

Head of Production

The demand for healthy, sustainably and environmentally friendly farmed salmon is increasing. To have the first Swiss land-based salmon farm under the same roof allows the processing and refining of freshest salmon to outstanding salmon delicacies. As Head of Production, Processing and Smoking I am delighted to fulfill the high demand with premium salmon products and seduce customers with fresh, smoked and marinated salmon delicacies.

Simon Durejka

Farm Manager

The world is facing a huge challenge – we need alternative, but also high-quality sources of protein without further exploiting nature. At Swiss Lachs, we are successful in realising this because we have had the know-how and experience to do so for years. As Farm Manager, my team and our work fills me with pride, as we rightly operate one of Europe’s most successful land-based salmon farms. The quality of our fish is the result of careful and passionate work. I see it as my personal responsibility to keep this standard high. The principles of fish welfare and the welfare of my employees are my top priority.
