Echinaforce as a beacon of hope against Corona: Alfred Vogel learned about the active ingredient of Native Americans more than 50 years ago

Native Americans once introduced the Swiss naturopath Alfred Vogel to the properties of echinacea. On this basis, Vogel established a company in Roggwil which is now one of the largest manufacturers of natural healing products in Switzerland. A look at the history of the company.

Almost a year has passed since A. Vogel AG put its new production hall in Roggwil into operation. The extension of the headquarters is 45 meters long, 17 meters wide and almost as high. The company invested 25 million francs and the construction works took just under a year and a half. Freshly harvested medicinal plants are delivered here, cut and processed into tinctures and tablets. Production is largely automated. There are two production lines for large quantities of 4000 and 6000 liters and one for the production of small quantities.
