Swiss Label is a Swiss brand organization. It is organized in the legal form of an association and has its seat in Bern . National Councilor Ruedi Lustenberger is the President of the Board of Directors , while National Councilor Jean-René Germanier and business economist Sigrid Sutter are vice-presidents .
According to the statutes, the purpose of the association is:
- Marking the origin of Swiss products and services at home and abroad with the crossbow mark
- maintaining and promoting the origin and quality awareness of buyers and consumers
- maintaining and promoting Switzerland as a business location
The association awards its members the crossbow mark as a seal of origin via a user contract that regulates the protection, usage fee, delivery, use and control of the crossbow mark . This is trademark-protected in Switzerland for all goods and services. One of the requirements for using the seal of origin is that the Swiss share of the value must be at least 70 percent for industrial products, 90 percent for food and 100 percent for agriculture (Swiss guarantee products). Members of Swiss Label are companies, professional and industry associations and their members.
The organization was founded in 1917 under the name “Swiss Week” and renamed Swiss Label in 1989. After the number of members had dropped from over 1000 to around 100, the organization was relaunched in 2003. Today (2015) it has more than 700 members, small and medium-sized companies from all regions and various industries as well as large, well-known companies such as Caran d'Ache or Victorinox .
