ABOUT US

We are a Swiss company founded in 2017 and based in Baar in the canton of Zug. Our specialty: high-quality CBD cannabis products. Together, our founding team brings together over 60 years of professional experience in everything to do with cannabis (cultivation, genetics, development of medical cannabis varieties).

Our shared vision has existed since day one of our founding: With SwissExtract we want to play a leading role in the field of organic cannabis cultivation.

We see ourselves as a key driver of a new cannabis economy and are the first and only manufacturer of certified organic cannabis in the world.

We are the cannabis organic pioneers! We are SwissExtract.

HOW IT ALL BEGAN

Our story began with a vision. We wanted to bring a BioSuisse-certified cannabis to the market. Quality, sustainability, traceability and Swissness were the top priorities right from the start. Because that's exactly what we were missing from all the hemp products that were already on the market.

We set the direction ourselves.

So our aim was to produce a raw material that promised safety and transparency. And we wanted to produce CBD products that we could also give to our parents and grandparents without a guilty conscience. In 2017, we were ready and formed a founding team consisting of Dominic, Lucien, Manfred, Stefan and three other members and founded our own company.

THE FOUNDATION STONE WAS LAID

Just one year later, we were already growing the first BioSuisse-certified cannabis in a one-hectare greenhouse in Seeland. In 2018, the first CBD oil was launched on the Swiss market, the production of which already met the strict requirements of BioSuisse.

We cannot be stopped.

Since then we have continued to develop further. SuisseBioHemp AG became SwissExtract AG. We expanded our cultivation area by 15 hectares of outdoor space and created new jobs in the region. We refined further products and launched a low-THC CBD oil in 2019. In addition, in 2020 we received approval from the Federal Office of Public Health (BAG) to grow cannabis with a THC content of over 1% for research purposes.

It can carry on like this.

It can carry on like this. We are now established with our products on the market, but we are far from standing still. This is how we work on new products – with other plant substances, but at the same level of quality.

A change to the Swiss Narcotics Act has been in force since May 15, 2021.
It enables pilot tests with controlled release of
Cannabis for recreational purposes. The experiments should have a scientific basis
for future legal regulation.

On March 21, 2023, the Federal Office of Public Health granted us the cultivation and manufacturing license for Switzerland's first pilot project “Züri Can” is granted because we are strict
Meet the requirements for growing the plants.

We were really happy about this license!
