MORGA AG

From India to Toggenburg

The Morga company has its origins in India: the grandfather of the current managing director, Ernst Lieberherr, moved to the foreign country in 1910 for the Volkart Brothers company and quickly learned to navigate this new environment. During his 20-year stay in this very different country, he acquired a taste for vegetarian food and became acquainted with exciting products and diets that were previously unknown in Switzerland.

Soy products and a vegetarian diet

When he returned to Switzerland, his luggage was full of soybeans and insights into a vegetarian diet. Following his new convictions, he looked for ways to share his passion with the Swiss. And so it was that he founded the company Morga in 1930. Since its foundation over 80 years ago, we have been developing, producing and distributing vegetarian and organic foods of all kinds.

Responding to special nutritional needs

The company has grown steadily over the last three generations and expanded its product range. The Morga range now includes over 1500 active sales items from 10 different product categories, mainly in organic quality. From syrups to fruit spreads, dried fruit, teas, nutritional supplements, cereals and much more. Other specialties have also been added in recent years. In addition to special diets, the main focus is on nutrition for allergies and intolerances such as coeliac disease, as well as religious beliefs. Morga produces many free-from products, such as gluten-free products or products without sugar, and exports products that are halal or kosher-certified.

Expertise in food production

Today, Morga employs 130 people at its site in Ebnat-Kappel and also holds 100% of the shares in a German organic tea bag production company with a further 20 employees. The machinery and production facilities have been constantly renewed and adapted so that production can still be carried out efficiently in Switzerland today. However, careful processing and attention to detail have never been neglected. Industrial production lines are nowhere to be found at Morga. However, Morga is so well equipped that it not only produces under its own brands, but also successfully manufactures foodstuffs on a contract manufacturing or contract production basis. In addition to state-of-the-art tea machines and filling systems, the premises in Ebnat-Kappel are home to various special machines for small and medium-sized batches. Boiling, drying, flaking, baking, extracting, blending: All specialties of the SME in Toggenburg.

Nutrition trends and food innovations

However, it is not only the production possibilities that are important, but above all the development of good and healthy ideas and products. It is important for Morga to constantly adapt to changing market needs and to distinguish between short-term nutritional trends and valuable new forms of nutrition. New gentle processes, exciting new discoveries and, above all, new eating habits and customer demands must always be recognized, evaluated and adapted to the Morga philosophy.

Fast and uncomplicated distribution is another important component that must not be ignored. Morga is on the road for its customers every day. Every store in Switzerland is visited on a weekly basis to ensure that customers always have the right product and the right quantity available.

Building the right bridges in each case by recognizing market needs, using suitable production methods and distributing the finished products quickly, while never losing sight of the credo "naturally vegetarian food - from people for people". This is what Morga stands for.
