The mill was founded by the Bossy family in 1852 to collect wheat from local farmers. 170 years later, they have maintained the same authentic quality combined with the latest technologies in their brand new factory.
Bossy Céréales serves the cereal, textured vegetable protein (TVP) and flour industries in Switzerland and Europe, as well as the national retail sector. The company also exports under its own name to Germany, India and China.
The production capacity of its new plant, its investments in R&D coupled with its dry extrusion technology are aimed at meeting the growing demand from the main players in meat production, interested in including meat substitutes in their recipes.
These substitutes, which are very rich in fiber and protein, represent an opportunity to expand Bossy’s market share, while at the same time initiating the transition to a sustainable solution, given the challenges of climate change and dietary developments.
Even if the manufacture of the traditional Bircher Muesli has remained one of the company’s mainstay through the years, the company is constantly bringing innovation into their products. This is why Bossy Céréales is innovating in the manufacture of tomorrow’s food products based on textured vegetable proteins (PVT).
In the 1950s Bossy Cereals starts to specialise in Bircher Muesli. At the same time the company launches into baby food, polenta and porridge to diversify its production. Later in the 1980s the range expands with various breakfast cereals recipes, cornflakes, crispy flakes as well as couscous, bulgur wheat, instant soups and chocolate based products. The company currently distributes under its own brand as well as offering their know-how to Swiss supermarket chains such as Coop and Migros.
The entire supply chain complies with the highest internationl quality and safety standards. To this effect Bossy Cereals is certified FSSC 22000.
WIND OF CHANGE
In 1996 Simon-Pierre Kerbage takes over the company and gives it a new impetus by creating new ranges of innovating products and investing in a production tool. Given the ever growing customer demand for organic and healthier products, he develops an organic cereals range from wheat, bulgur wheat, oats, barley and rice. With these new ranges, the company is granted the Bio Swiss Bud label.
