History
SV Group traces its origins to 1914, when Else Züblin-Spiller founded the non-profit organisation 'Schweizer Verband Soldatenwohl', with the original aim of providing Swiss soldiers with inexpensive, balanced food without alcohol. Almost 100 years ago, the 'Swiss Association of Soldiers' Welfare' (Schweizer Verband Soldatenwohl) began a unique social and entrepreneurial commitment, which led to the creation of SV Group AG in 1999 as a market-focused company, alongside the SV Foundation. The charitable SV Foundation is the majority shareholder of the SV Group and uses its funds to support projects in the area of healthy eating and public welfare. Today the group describes itself as a leading catering and hotel management group active in several business segments, and as a leading hospitality provider headquartered in Dübendorf near Zurich, operating in Switzerland and Germany.
