What Saniswiss does

Saniswiss SA is a Geneva-based, founder-controlled manufacturer of safe hygiene solutions for healthcare professionals, founded in 2006 by CEO Jérôme Weill alongside health professionals and microbiologists. The company develops, manufactures, and markets a portfolio of 28+ products spanning hand hygiene (sanitizers, no-touch dispensers), environmental hygiene (surface disinfectants, enzymatic cleaners, automated airborne disinfection systems), instrument hygiene (multi-enzymatic cleaners and sanitizer-detergents), and laundry hygiene. Underlying the range are three proprietary technical platforms: a boosted hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) chemistry used in sporicidal surface and airborne disinfection, multi-enzymatic formulations (3, 6, and 7 enzymes) for biofilm degradation on instruments and dental aspiration systems, and probiotic biosurfactants for odor control and surface cleaning.

The commercial model is B2B enterprise field sales into medical, dental, pharmaceutical, emergency/rescue, food service, and veterinary facilities, delivered through direct subsidiaries in seven countries (Switzerland, France, Germany, Spain, Lebanon, UK, and China), an online storefront for Switzerland and France, and a distributor network reaching 80+ countries. The company segments its offer under sub-brands including Sanitizer (biocidal disinfectants), Sanicleaner (cleaners and eco-friendly formulations), Sanitest (colorimetric biofilm diagnostics), Sanipod (smart dispensers), and Automate / Smart Automate aHP (airborne disinfection hardware with connectivity variants).

Pricing is contact-based for enterprise healthcare customers and not publicly disclosed. Products carry multiple EN-standard efficacy certifications and several SKUs hold EU Ecolabel certification, and the company positions its proprietary SAFE quality label as a no-trade-off guarantee between antimicrobial efficacy and user/environmental safety. The company maintains strategic ties to the WHO POPS initiative led by Prof. Didier Pittet and is a founding member of the Clean Hospitals network, giving it standing in global infection-prevention governance. The company is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors or parent entity.
