LUKOWA Group was founded in 1983 as a subsidiary of FUGA AG, a Lucerne-based trading company established in 1928, as their food and beverages unit. In 2012 the firm started shifting its company focus from pure trading to a service provider with its own production and processing facilities. Today, LUKOWA covers the entire supply chain in the food sector, from producers to large retail chains. With Switzerland as our base, we’ve become one of the most significant global food and beverage market players.
In addition to the food business, LUKOWA today is active in various other business areas with the aim of accelerating growth. LUKOWA has expanded to Real Estate and Sports, with initiatives in Business services, Academy, Big Data, and ventures in Biotech and Fintech.
From the beginning, it’s been in our DNA to pioneer through bravery and excellence. Our ambitions are high – and our ability to execute has proven to be even higher. Together with our partners, we continue to move on towards more incredible things: Empowering everyone to live smarter, happier, and more sustainable lives.
