EARTH-CONSCIOUS CREATIVITY is a campaign that is part of our corporate strategy where we take action to preserve what is really important: our planet and its future. Protecting our natural resources is a promise we take seriously. Nature is the source of our creativity. Therefore, protecting the environment has been and will remain one of our strongest commitments. Whether contributing to decarbonisation or foster biodiversity at our new headquarters, we aim to strengthening public trust in our business. We will remain committed to transparency and continuous improvement.
OUR COMPANY
We are a family-owned company in the third generation. Founded in 1926 by Hermann Luzi, our company started with the prime objective of producing unique and innovative fragrances for industries as personal care and detergents. After years of success the company was taken over in 1952 by Eduard Altenburger. Since then, the Altenburger family runs the company to fullest success.
Highly creative, we master the craftsmanship of perfumery to create modern, top-quality fragrances for a demanding clientele serving many categories as fine fragrance, cosmetics, household and industrial products. We offer creative solutions and effective products, along exclusive turnkey manufacture and customer support, taking prime care of our long-standing partnerships.
Corporate responsibility is at our core and the newly inaugurated headquarters perfectly reflect this approach of paramount importance to us.
