1864 - 2024: SIGVARIS GROUP has been committed to your health for 160 years
Find out how SIGVARIS GROUP has developed over 160 years across the world.
A successful family history characterised by important dates... Did you know?
Our first factory was built in Winterthur. It housed 40 looms to weave elastic ribbons.
The company expanded its product range.
Finer rubber threads, improved elastic and newly sourced fabrics were used to produce belts, socks and braces.
A rubber-based medical compression stocking is presented at an international medical congress under the brand name "Sigvaris".
It offers graduated reduced compression from the ankle to the thigh.
In order to establish ourselves faster within the market, the Group decides to build a factory in Peachtree City near Atlanta, USA.
Expansion also takes place with a new factory opening in São Paulo, Brazil.
Our past
People and health have always been at the centre of the SIGVARIS GROUP. On its journey from a two-person family business to an international healthcare group, the company has reinvented itself time and again. It has constantly adapted to changing trends and needs.
From 1864 to the present day, from Switzerland across the world, the sewing techniques quickly became the norm for medical compression treatments.
