What Segantini Catering Ltd. does

Segantini Catering Ltd. is a Swiss premium catering and full-service event management company headquartered in Adliswil, near Zürich. Founded in 1999 and family-owned under manager and owner Gianni Segantini, the company delivers end-to-end event solutions — concept development, catering, venue selection and guest programme coordination — for corporate functions, high-net-worth private celebrations and cultural institution events. Operations are anchored by an in-house professional kitchen producing artisanal food from scratch (homemade pasta, hand-rolled ravioli, slow-simmered consommé) and a curated network of over 40 premium event venues across Switzerland including Kunsthaus Zürich, Fondation Beyeler and Villa Tobler.

The company's commercial offering spans three integrated streams: bespoke event catering services for corporate and private clients; location and venue services delivered through the partner venue network; and, from 2026, a managed resident-caterer agreement at Papiersaal Loc. in Sihlcity Zürich covering the Papiersaal (400m²) and Folium (400m²) spaces. Go-to-market is event-driven and direct: client acquisition relies on referrals from existing blue-chip corporate accounts, partnerships with prestigious venues, and a small digital footprint (website, Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, newsletter, online moodboard tool). Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is built quote-by-quote around guest count, menu and venue requirements.

Segantini's client base is diversified across at least 200 named corporate and institutional accounts spanning financial services (UBS, Credit Suisse, Julius Bär, Vontobel), consulting (McKinsey, Bain, BCG), luxury goods (Rolex, Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Chopard, Omega), pharmaceutical (Roche), technology (Microsoft, Salesforce), energy (Glencore, Axpo), art and culture (Kunsthaus Zürich, Fondation Beyeler, Christie's), beverage (Red Bull, Dom Pérignon) and automotive (BMW, AUDI). The company also caters high-profile functions such as Panel Lunches at the World Economic Forum in Davos. Headcount is reported as 11–50, with a 13+ core team spanning leadership, project management and a dedicated kitchen brigade under Head Chef Alex Zollinger.
