In 1973 existing premises very close to Zurich International Airport were enlarged. Eugene Bollinger earned a reputation as "Mister Teak" because for many years his firm was an excellent source for this specialwood as well as, of course, many other species. In 1987 Karl Heinz Herzog purchased the company and integrated it into his family wood-related businesses. Since then the company has been under the direction of Markus Barmettler and his team of experts.
