history
The company was founded in 1845 as a health support association of the Winterthur industrial group Sulzer . The association later developed into an actual company health insurance fund . Over time, this also insured the families of Sulzer employees and external persons. In the mid-1990s, most of the insured had no real connection to the Sulzer Group, which in 1997 led to the name change of the health insurance company, which had always been legally and financially independent of the Sulzer Group, to Provita Health Insurance . As part of a structural reform, the Provita Health Insurance Association handed over the operational insurance business that had previously been part of it to two of its own subsidiaries on January 1, 2004, and has since concentrated on controlling the group under stock corporation law.
