Company | Strähl

Where craftsmanship and modernity meet.

We have been shaking up the Swiss cheese market for almost 90 years. Our passion allows us to delight gourmets with our creations. These, in turn, inspire us with their feedback.

It is this direct communication that makes our family-owned company so agile, not to mention a professional solution provider for our retail customers. This is because we develop and produce tailor-made solutions for the daily challenges seen in the catering, hotel and retail sectors. This is the basis for achieving our goal of sustainable growth for both of us.

To achieve this, we combine traditional Swiss craftsmanship with creativity and state-of-the-art processes and facilities. This results in down-to-earth natural products with a fantastic taste.

A family affair

Today, Strähl Käse is managed by Peter Strähl as CEO. With Astrid Holenstein, another member from the third generation of the family is on the Executive Board.

They took over from the second generation. Like his father Paul, Hans-Peter Strähl was a master cheesemaker with a passion for outstanding quality. Doris Holenstein-Strähl, the founder’s daughter, successfully cultivated customer relationships over decades.

Over the years, Strähl Käse has grown organically to the company we are today. We had the foresight to continuously invest in assets that were ahead of their time. Nevertheless, the family was always aware that it is not machines that make a company successful – but instead dedicated, loyal people. The family-run company maintains flat management structures that involve employees in processes and give them a high degree of responsibility. This is why our entire team is right behind the Strähl brand with their pride and passion.
