60 years of successful animal husbandry

UFA AG is well positioned with its plants for mixed feed, milk powder, mineral salts, and specialties. The plants are continuously streamlined and modernized in order to provide Swiss livestock farmers with the best possible service.

The path to becoming the leading animal nutrition company
UFA (Union des fédérations agricoles) was founded in 1958 as the umbrella brand for agricultural cooperative associations. Milk powder, mineral salts, and specialties were produced centrally at UFAG Sursee from 1965 onwards. Each cooperative association manufactured its own mixed feed until 1989. From 1989 onwards, these plants were gradually merged and streamlined into Orador AG. In 1998, the two companies Orador AG Herzogenbuchsee and UFAG Sursee merged to form UFA AG. Since then, many rationalization measures have been taken to offer products and services for successful animal husbandry even more efficiently and cost-effectively. A particular milestone was the commissioning of the Biblis plant in early 2003. With state-of-the-art technology geared to European conditions, Biblis operates very efficiently and has led to a noticeable reduction in costs. By 2008, Biblis was already operating at full capacity and was able to expand. With the renovation of St. Margrethen, the world-first "Sursee unmanned" facility, and the new Puidoux bulk loading facility, UFA is well positioned in all regions.
