of pleasure with heart.

Our promise

We adjust pleasure, nature and Swiss quality to current tastes. In doing so, we have been bringing well-being and pleasure to our consumers and customers and lightening their daily work for over 145 years.

An exemplary joint management

Anna Hug (5th generation) and Marianne Wüthrich Gross successfully lead the HUG Family according to a modern joint management model. This is their way of showing at the highest management level what is a matter of course across the company: flexible working models. As they themselves emphasise: «Our optimal complementarity enables us to achieve better results. We both have more time for ourselves and our own area of activity.»
