History
PRODINGER Verpackung AG was founded in 1994 in Münchenstein, Basel-Landschaft.
We expanded our team early on to improve customer service and operate more effectively in the market. In addition to providing expert advice, our close collaboration with PRODINGER in Germany allowed us to offer high-quality yet affordable products, which helped us attract our first major clients.
Our success and the resulting growth quickly led us to outgrow our space, so we moved to an industrial park in Möhlin.
The company’s growing sales activities provided a further boost. New colleagues joined the office and field sales teams, and we made a strong impression on the market with expert advice, effective solutions, an attractive price-performance ratio, and a wide range of products.
In 2008–2009, we moved to Kaiseraugst for a short time before settling in Arisdorf, where we have been based for many years.
2017 marked another milestone: the relocation of our warehouse from Möhlin to Embrach. Thanks to its proximity to the greater Zurich area and excellent transportation links, we were able to significantly improve our logistics operations throughout German-speaking Switzerland.
We started out with cardboard packaging. Simple folding boxes were our bestsellers. We soon expanded our product range to include plastic film, pallets, paper products, and adhesive solutions.
Our first customers were mainly from the Basel area, our „home turf.“ Many of our earliest customers remain loyal to our company to this day.
Tobias Sommer, CEO of PRODINGER Verpackung AG, says: „Even in the early days, we were defined by our dynamism, decisiveness, and adaptability. Whenever needs changed—whether internally, among our customers, or among our suppliers—we were always able to adapt exceptionally well. We are very proud of that. This agility continues to define our company to this day.“
Our product range has grown steadily. We have added new products such as corrosion protection solutions (VCI) and complete roll-off systems for workstations. This is often because suppliers have actively approached us with their innovations. We also expanded our offerings in the hygiene sector in 2023. Today, we are distribution partners for various product groups and can offer our customers a broad, compelling portfolio.
Sustainability is becoming increasingly important to us. We regularly participate in independent audits, obtained ISO certification early on, and are continuously expanding our product range with resource-efficient products. In our consulting work as well, we focus on optimizing packaging processes and clearly labeling recycling streams.
What makes us special? Our culture of personal responsibility. Our employees have the freedom to manage the entire customer journey: from the initial inquiry through consultation, quoting, and sales all the way to post-sales support. This commercial responsibility ensures that our customers feel well taken care of. Framework agreements provide them with additional assurance that products are available at all times.
And then there are the little things that make up our daily lives: employees organize themselves, stay in close contact, and celebrate personal milestones together. And who stops by once a month to restock the ice cream freezer? Our longtime colleague Alfredo. It’s moments like these that really bring our team spirit to life.
