The Hero company

Hero is one of Europe’s leading food manufacturers and can look back over more than 120 years of successful tradition.

Hero combines traditional quality with ultra-modern technology. Since its foundation more than one hundred years ago Hero has developed into a Group which is successful across the world.

“To make fruit and vegetables long-lasting without losing their flavour“ was the business concept behind the foundation of Hero in Lenzburg back in 1886. In those pioneering years, preserving foodstuffs was the core business. During the years between then and now, HERO has combined traditional quality with the latest in modern technology – a formula which has extended Hero’s success far beyond Switzerland’s frontiers. Today HERO is an international food-stuffs company with a wide range of high-quality products.

Hero’s core activities in Switzerland are:

• Conserves
• Fruit products such as “Fruit 2 Day“ and compotes
• Baby-foods
• Cereal bars
• Various categories of longlife products
