Location & production
The products of the Kolma brand are developed and produced in Bern. We work with various suppliers from Switzerland. This allows us to have short transport routes and a high degree of flexibility.
Quality & innovation
Our products stand out for their supreme quality – and things are to remain that way. For example, we adapt them to ever-changing requirements and needs and tinker with new materials, additional features, and even completely new products.
Environmental & social responsibility
Kolma is aware of its responsibility for the environment and society. Just as it is for its own employees. That is why we are committed to sustainable development at various levels.
