The Zyliss AG was a Swiss production company of kitchen appliances . The company name is a combination of the name of the bike mechanic and founder Karl Zysset (1907–1998), who previously ran the Zysset bike shop, and the first company location in Lyss .

Zyliss AG was deleted from the commercial register on March 29, 2006. Since then, the Zyliss brand has been used by Diethelm Keller Brands AG, which is part of Diethelm Keller Holding AG .

history

Karl Zysset (1907–1998) gave up the bike business in 1951 and founded the Zyliss company . In 1960 the company was converted to a public limited company.

The company's advertising slogan was Zick-Zick-Zyliss . In 1982 the company was sold to two investors. In 1985 they sold the company to Diethelm Keller Holding AG (DKSH). Operationally, however, the company was largely autonomous. The company has been making losses since 1995.

In 2003, the number of jobs was reduced from 105 to 80 and the company management announced that the production site would be relocated from Lyss to the Far East, which the employees wanted to prevent through protest rallies and a strike. The successful protest action became a “showcase strike ” of the newer Swiss labor movement and was successfully filmed by filmmaker Verena Endtner under the title “The strike becomes socially acceptable” and awarded at the Solothurn Film Festival. It was achieved that the remaining 80 employees received an employment guarantee by the end of 2004.

Then the jobs in production were cut and from 2005 30 employees in China continued to produce under Swiss supervision. Only 20 administrative jobs were retained in Switzerland until the company was dissolved in April 2006. The company's headquarters were relocated to Zurich in December 2005.

The company DKB Household Switzerland AG, to which the brands Zyliss, Koenig, Turmix, and Cole & Mason belong, has 120 employees.

Inventions

Three world-famous kitchen technology inventions originally came from Zyliss : the garlic press , the salad spinner and the onion chopper .
