Current topics from the Fortisa world.

How is true quality actually created? The answer begins long before a burger is served—namely, in the field.

Together with McDonald’s Switzerland and IP-SUISSE, we had the opportunity to gain a fascinating insight into the world of regenerative agriculture and biodiversity during the Discovery Day at the Scheidegger family’s farm in Chavannes-le-Chêne.

Once again, it became clear: Sustainability isn’t just a promise—it’s a daily commitment. The passion of IP-SUISSE producers, their dedication to nature, and their sense of responsibility toward future generations are both impressive and inspiring.

As a long-standing Bun partner of McDonald’s Switzerland, such encounters are particularly valuable to us. After all, strong partnerships are built where there is a genuine understanding of the entire value chain—from farming through processing all the way to the guest.

🤝 Together, we create transparency, trust, and quality.

🌱 Together, we shape a sustainable future.

🇨🇭 Together, we strengthen Swiss agriculture.

A heartfelt thank you to the Scheidegger family, IP-SUISSE, and McDonald’s Switzerland for the open dialogue and the fascinating insights.

Together, we had the opportunity to volunteer for the Ronald McDonald House in Bern.

 Instead of our usual office routine, we spent our time cleaning windows, shampooing carpets, and supporting families going through difficult times.

Thank you to everyone who participated for your amazing dedication 🙌

For us at Fortisa, this isn’t just a symbolic day—it’s part of our daily reality.

Working in shifts amid hot ovens, heavy dough, and running machinery, we see every day that safety is not a theoretical concept. It is an attitude. Attentiveness. Responsibility.

Operating machines with care. Taking physical strain seriously. Staying mindful even under time pressure. And above all: creating an environment where we support one another and openly address risks. Especially in a dynamic production environment, teamwork makes all the difference.

Our products stand for quality. But behind that quality are people. Their health and well-being are our top priority.

Because safety doesn’t start with regulations. It starts with the daily actions of every individual.

#worldsafetyday #workplace safety #teamwork #responsibility #fortisa

At Fortisa, we already use 43% of our raw materials from regenerative agriculture—in close collaboration with IP-SUISSE.

Why is this important? Regenerative agriculture strengthens healthy soils, promotes biodiversity, and helps preserve natural resources in the long term. This creates a food system that not only produces but also takes responsibility.

For us, this isn’t just a trend, but a clear step toward a responsible future.

We are continuously working to further increase this proportion and, together with our partners, to develop sustainable solutions along the entire value chain.

#fortisa #sustainability #regenerativeagriculture #nature-basedcropfarming #ipsuisse #responsibility #shapingthefuture

for greater visibility, more opportunities, and more unity.♀️

For us at Fortisa, this day is more than just a symbol. It reminds us that equality arises where respect is practiced, trust is strengthened, and opportunities are truly shared – every day. 

We are convinced of the advantages of mixed teams: the women in our teams contribute expertise, energy, and new perspectives. They shape our culture, inspire our collaboration, and drive innovation and development.

Thank you for your daily contribution, your ideas, and your strength.

Let's continue to work together to create a work environment where people can flourish, diversity is visible, and true equality is a given.

My name is Deyvid, I am 19 years old and an automation engineer EFZ in my third year of training. A solid basic education combined with practical experience makes all the difference – that's exactly what I'm experiencing right now.

I completed the first two years of my apprenticeship at the AZW Langenthal. There, I built a solid foundation as part of the inter-company basic training program – from wiring control systems and mechanical work to pneumatics and PLC programming. In addition, the theory lessons provided me with the necessary specialist knowledge.

In my third year of training, I moved to Fortisa AG to apply my knowledge directly in real-world projects. Every day, I see how important a good basic education is. I am working more and more independently and taking on more responsibility step by step.

The combination of sound training and practical application motivates me and confirms that I have chosen the right career path.

Since last year, we have been able to count on the valuable cooperation with Regiomech Zuchwil. In the immediate vicinity of Fortisa AG, Regiomech provides us with motivated and committed individuals who enrich our production team and actively support us.

We appreciate the direct, uncomplicated exchange and the common goal of offering people new perspectives. A partnership that is not only based on short distances but also on mutual trust and social commitment.

Thank you to the team at Regiomech – we look forward to continuing our successful collaboration! 💼🌱

On December 8, 2025, our management team met for a leadership workshop at frigemo in Cressier. As joint suppliers to McDonald's Switzerland, we share a partnership and a common understanding of quality, efficiency, and responsibility along the entire value chain with frigemo.

In the leadership workshop, we reflected on our corporate culture and aligned on the company goals for 2026. Topics such as occupational safety, part-time work, and promoting diversity were discussed.

A particular highlight was the tour of frigemo's production facilities, which gave us valuable insights into our partner's processes and procedures and further deepened the exchange on an equal footing.

🙏 A big thank you to frigemo for their hospitality, professional organization, and openness – a true partnership between suppliers of McDonald's Switzerland. We would also like to thank all participants for their enthusiastic exchange and joint brainstorming. 🚀

Over the past few weeks, we have held two first aid refresher courses – and we are proud of all the employees who took part! 🚑🩺

The practical exercises allowed us to refresh our knowledge, gain confidence, and learn how to act calmly and decisively in an emergency.

Training like this is an important part of our responsibility – to our teams, our working environment, and, of course, ourselves.

Being well prepared feels good – and can save lives.

Today was the day again: together with McDonald's Zuchwil, we were able to hold our traditional Future Day.

Fourteen young guests had the chance to experience first-hand what it means to produce hamburger buns – from the initial dough to delivery. Of course, they were also allowed to lend a hand and bake their own creations. 🥖 

After an exciting morning at Fortisa, we continued on to McDonald's, where we had lunch together. Afterwards, the children were given a glimpse behind the scenes: How is our food prepared? What happens in the kitchen? Here, too, they were allowed to actively help out – and at the end, they even got to prepare their own dessert on the ice cream machine. 🍦 

A short quiz rounded off the day – with a small reward for the winner. 🎁

We would like to thank McDonald's Zuchwil for their fantastic cooperation and, of course, our young guests for their enthusiasm and curiosity. 

See you at the next Future Day! 😊

Bread is much more than just a staple food – it is a piece of culture, craftsmanship, and daily enjoyment.

On today's Bread Day, we at Fortisa are celebrating our passion for quality and partnership together with McDonald's Switzerland.

Because behind every burger is not only a good idea, but also a high-quality bun – made with care, expertise, and Swiss flour from IP-SUISSE wheat.

We are proud to have been a long-standing partner of McDonald's Switzerland for 40 years, working together on innovation, sustainability, and taste. Because good bread connects people, hospitality, and culture. 💛🍞

To mark Switzerland-wide Clean-Up Day, the Fortisa team joined forces with McDonald's Switzerland today to take action in several cities. 💛🍟

Our shared goal: to send a clear message against littering and actively contribute to keeping our cities clean.

Armed with gloves, collection bags, and team spirit, we showed that taking responsibility doesn't end with words—it begins with action. 💪🌍

Initiatives like this make a difference: they raise awareness of environmental protection and show that every contribution counts.

Last Saturday, we actively supported the FoodSave Banquet in Zuchwil – an inspiring event that draws attention to the issues of food waste and sustainable consumption in an enjoyable way.

Together with other committed individuals, we helped to organize the event and served a delicious menu – prepared from rescued food that would otherwise have ended up in the trash. An impressive example of how conscious action can make a big difference.

🌍 For us at Fortisa, sustainability is not just a buzzword – it is part of our corporate culture.

We also took part in the “Bike to Work” initiative in June and are proud to be doing our bit for a more sustainable future by cycling to work 🌍

By cycling to work, we are not only promoting our health and fitness but also doing something good for our minds and strengthening our team spirit. Together, we covered almost 2,000 km, saving up to 400 kg of CO2 and enjoying many beautiful impressions of nature 🌿

Let's continue to cycle to work even after the “Bike to Work” campaign is over and do something good for our environment and health every day 🩵

On February 21, 2025, we celebrate the International Mother Language Day - and at Fortisa we are particularly proud that 14 different mother tongues are spoken in our team! 🎉

This diversity not only enriches our collaboration, but also strengthens our creativity, perspectives and intercultural exchange. Language is more than communication - it is identity, culture and cohesion.

Let's celebrate linguistic and cultural diversity together! 🎊

At the end of November, the Fortisa AG management team had the exciting opportunity to find out more about the production and utilization of Swiss sugar beet. 🌱

We are impressed by the innovative strength and sustainability behind every step of the process:

✅ Versatile products: The beets are used to produce animal feed, biogas and natural fertilizers, among other things.

✅ Efficient use of resources: Even the soil that sticks to the beets is processed by RICOTER Erdaufbereitung AG into high-quality plant soil.

✅ More sustainable than EU sugar: Thanks to comprehensive recycling and local production, Swiss sugar is 30% more sustainable than its EU counterpart.

Many thanks to Christian Klossner and Jürg Burkhalter for the insights into this impressive value chain! 👏

On today's Future Day 2024, we once again had exciting experiences with our young guests in collaboration with McDonald's Zuchwil. Eight children visited us to gain an insight into our day-to-day work. The day began with a tour of our production facilities, where the children were able to experience first-hand how we bake our small rolls on a grand scale. A special highlight was that they were allowed to bake something themselves. 😊

At lunchtime, we went to McDonald's together, where we not only had a snack, but also an interesting look behind the scenes of the restaurant. There, the children were able to see what it means to work in the catering sector.

Many thanks at this point to McDonald's Zuchwil for the great cooperation and for making this exciting program possible. The day ended with a final quiz at McDonald's, where the children were able to test their newly acquired knowledge.

#futureday #teamwork #insights #mcdonaldszuchwil

At Fortisa, we focus on quality and sustainability - and this also applies to our sugar! By deciding to use IP-SUISSE sugar, we have taken a further step towards environmentally friendly production.

What makes IP-SUISSE sugar special?

•    High-quality raw materials: IP-SUISSE sugar comes from controlled, sustainable agriculture that adheres to the highest standards in terms of quality and environmental protection.

•    Environmentally friendly cultivation methods: Farmers refrain from using insecticides and fungicides, promote biodiversity with targeted measures and protect the climate.

•    Supporting local agriculture: By choosing IP-SUISSE sugar, we not only strengthen the local economy, but also build confidence in sustainable farming practices.

We believe that every step we take towards sustainability counts. With IP-SUISSE Sugar, we are setting an example for responsible consumption and environmentally friendly products.

Together for a sweeter and more sustainable future! 🌱✨

In mid-September, we had an inspiring workshop lasting several days, which impressively demonstrated how much potential we have as a team. 🌟 We contributed our individual strengths - whether it was baking güetzi together, developing creative ideas or setting the course for future success.

What we learned once again: Teamwork is the key. Only together can we achieve the best results and support each other on the road to success. 💪

We, Fortisa’s leadership team, are looking forward to taking this momentum into the next projects and are excited to see what else we can achieve as a team. 🚀

At Fortisa, we have been focusing on sustainable raw materials and production for almost 30 years. we recognized the importance of environmentally friendly agriculture back in 1996 and introduced IP-Suisse wheat into our production.

IP-Suisse farmers are committed to strict guidelines for soil and plant protection: avoiding fungicides and insecticides and using moderate fertilization promote biodiversity and a respectful approach to nature.

2023, we took the next step out of conviction and are now also sourcing our sugar in IP-Suisse quality. This underlines our commitment to sustainable regenerative farming.

As Fortisa, we have been a reliable partner since the beginning of the IP-Suisse program and thus make a significant contribution to environmentally friendly production.

We are proud of our latest investment: since December last year, we have been producing our own solar power on a 700m² area, thanks to the PV system from Helion Energy AG.

All the electricity generated flows directly into our business, covering around 7-10% of our total energy consumption. With an output of 147 kWp and an annual production of 164,900 kWh, we are making an active contribution to CO2 reduction and thus actively helping to shape a sustainable future.

We are grateful for the sunny days that make our system even more efficient.

Dinkel ist eine alte Getreidesorte, die in den letzten Jahren immer beliebter geworden ist. Sie gilt als gesünder und ressourcenschonender, da sie eine hohe Verträglichkeit aufweist (auch bei Glutenunverträglichkeit) und der Anbau von Dinkel weniger Dünger sowie Pestizide benötigt als herkömmlicher Weizen. Zudem haben Dinkelbrote einen angenehm nussigen Geschmack sowie eine leichte, lockere Textur.

Today we had the pleasure to welcome the IOM (International Operating Market) Leadership Team of Paul Pomroy and the management of McDonald's Switzerland at Fortisa.

We thank them for their trust and the good cooperation.

Fortisa BETTER THAN THE REST

«Ich bin erfolgreich im Fortisa-Team angekommen und freue mich auf partnerschaftliche Projekte mit unseren Kunden».

Fortisa BETTER THAN THE REST

Seit 1991 bäckt die Fortisa Burgerbrötchen für McDonald's Schweiz. Die grösste Herausforderung: Millionen von Buns in konstanter Qualität und Präzision zu produzieren.

Our annual Fortisa family event took place last Saturday at Christian von Ins in Oberbipp. In addition to a delicious barbecue, we enjoyed a guided tour of the farm and learned a lot about the clever pigs. A successful event for young and old!

Christian von Ins is our long-time partner for the sustainable reuse of bread that cannot be sold. We were able to see live how, thanks to this cooperation, valuable feed for IP Suisse pigs is created from discarded buns.

A big thank you to Christian for his hospitality and the exciting insight into his business!

Wer in einen Burger von McDonald's beisst, isst immer auch ein Brötchen, das in Zuchwil produziert wurde

250 restaurant managers from McDonald's Switzerland experience how challenging it is to produce perfect buns (Baden, March 2022).

We are proud to have successfully published our recently completed research project.

Meine drei Wünsche für Fortisa AG:

Sustainable Swiss wheat for buns and small breads

Fortisa is proud and happy about this new partnership.

Aus dem ganz gewöhnlichen Alltag des Fortisa-Murpf-Universums

Fritz Gerber is a trained electrician and is a strong support to our maintenance team for now 8 years. Thanks to proven expertise, agility and a talent for improvisation, Fritz Gerber makes an important contribution to the reliability of our production round around the clock. Thank you Fritz for your commitment.

Fortisa’s research for natural, durable and innovative small breads.

In a multi-year project in cooperation with the Zurich University of Applied Sciences (ZHAW), Diosna GmbH and Innosuisse - the Swiss Innovation Agency, innovative ways are being studied for a natural preservation, sugar reduction and improved baking properties of small baked goods.300 lactic acid bacteria were isolated from grain-based foods, identified and checked for their functional properties. Lactic acid bacteria with proven functional properties are used as starter cultures in sourdough fermentations and integrated in in baking tests in the laboratory and on Fortisa’s production line.The research work is carried out under the direction of #Susanne Miescher Schwenninger and as part of the doctoral thesis by #Denise Müller (in the picture). More information on the project's progress will follow.

Legend for picture (from left to right): Denise Müller screening lactic acid bacteria, sourdough production in the laboratory using functional microorganisms, pilot production at Fortisa, first line test with functional sourdough.

It is golden brown, higher than the standard and stands out for its unique shine. The beautiful new Bun with fine buttery taste: the Brioche Alto! More about it in our product catalog.
