From breeding to logistics to recycling of packaging – SwissShrimp is committed to treating animals and the environment with care. © SwissShrimp

How do you manage to survive on the market? 

SwissShrimp offers a delicacy that is unique in Switzerland. The already existing strong partnerships with the location partner (Schweizer Salinen AG) and the sales partners (Migros, Coop, Manor Food, gastronomy, etc.) form a high entry barrier for new competitors. To date, there are no new competitors in sight and we do not consider an import solution to be a threat.
