About us
Short overview

Here, close to the French and Swiss borders, at the edge of one of the most beautiful wine regions in the country, different cultures come together and create a breeding ground for creativity and inspiration.

Direct sales is always characterized by direct, personal contact between the supplier and customer, which facilitates a mutual exchange of information and which is combined with strong advice for the customer.
Why direct sales?
We believe that even in today’s digital age, with online shopping, social media and interactive information processing, interpersonal relationships play a crucial role.
Although many suppliers are moving away from traditional sales for cost or complexity reasons, we see people as the key component to our business relationships.
For us, the person is the main focus and as such, we want to get to know them personally and convince them personally of our products, our philosophy and our service. We want to provide our customers with a personal point of contact, both on site and on the phone, who can be contacted at any time if they have any requests, suggestions or criticism, and who endeavors to resolve issues as quickly as possible and to the customer’s full satisfaction.
We see direct sales as the only sales tool that is able to achieve this. This is why we use direct sales every day. Particularly when selling products that require more explanation, direct sales is the only way that the customer can see the product they are interested in on site and try it out for themselves.
