history
The company went back to the company Säuberli & Co, founded in 1908. This merged with Max Oettinger AG in 2001 to form Contadis AG.
Until the end of 2015, Contadis was a subsidiary of the Oettinger Davidoff Group , in which its wholesale activities were bundled. In 2011 it achieved sales of around CHF 800 million. Contadis was based in Oberentfelden and had distribution centers in Le Mont-sur-Lausanne , Visp and Rancate .
In December 2015 Contadis was sold to Lekkerland (Schweiz) AG, a subsidiary of the German Lekkerland AG & Co. KG . The Oberentfelden location was closed by mid-2016, around half of the 90 employees who were still employed lost their jobs. The company was then dissolved by merging with Oettinger Davidoff AG. As a result of the sale of the Contadis activities, Oettinger Davidoff's sales fell by almost half in 2016.
