We create the space to savor the moment
Founded in 1914 by Else Züblin-Spiller as the non-profit organisation ‘Schweizer Verband Soldatenwohl’, the original aim was to provide Swiss soldiers with inexpensive, balanced food without alcohol. Today, the SV Group is a leading catering and hotel management group and is active in several business segments: restaurants for companies and schools, hotels with own brands and other renowned brands as franchisees, public restaurants with innovative concepts, food delivery service and catering.
