fenaco is active in four strategic business fields and aspires to occupy a leading position in the market along the entire value chain – de la terre à la table. To ensure we remain successful in the long term, we pursue three strategic avenues: innovation, sustainability and international competence.
We aim to continuously strengthen our position in Switzerland in all four business fields – Agro, Food Industry, Retail Trade and Energy. Our growth is primarily organic. We make acquisitions when they strengthen our company in the interests of our members and strategy. Using business models with a proven track record in Switzerland, we take targeted steps towards international growth – provided they serve our cooperative purpose. Our main target area is Europe. As a cooperative organisation, we aim to strike a balance between profitability and delivering benefits to our members.
To successfully implement our strategy, our company is organised into flexible, decentralised organisational units that are all managed according to the exact same principles. These units serve their markets autonomously, in close collaboration with the regional LANDIs. Our network organisation ensures we are always close to our customers. We are an attractive employer for ambitious employees, providing an equal opportunities work environment.
To achieve our cooperative purpose in the long-term, we pursue three strategic avenues:
fenaco sees itself as a driver of innovation in the Swiss agriculture, food and energy industries. We enter into research collaborations and start-up partnerships. We see our role in trade and manufacturing as well as in the promotion and procurement of new technologies.
fenaco is committed to ensuring that the Swiss agriculture and food industry plays an internationally leading role when it comes to sustainability. To achieve this, we invest in alternative crop protection measures, an ecological circular economy and renewable energy.
fenaco is selectively increasing its international competence to ensure it can continue to fulfil its purpose as a Swiss cooperative in the future. Our goal is to create sustainable, productive and resource-efficient farms.
