150 years of innovation for proximity to people and nature

  • 2 min read

Zimmerli of Switzerland celebrates its 150th birthday. Guided by the intimate closeness to people and nature that has been part of Zimmerli's DNA since its founding, Zimmerli looks back on a long tradition full of entrepreneurial spirit and innovation. In honor of its 150th anniversary, Zimmerli is highlighting a year of formative relationships with people and the environment - which will be celebrated together with customers and partners and crowned with anniversary gifts.

Since its founding by Pauline Zimmerli-Bäuerlin (1829-1914), proximity has been essential to Zimmerli. As a premium brand specializing in lingerie and loungewear, the company could not be closer to its customers.

Close to customers for 150 years

"We are convinced that we can look back on this 150-year tradition thanks to our closeness to people and nature, thanks to innovations that continuously honor, nurture and develop our relationship with customers, the environment and the skin," says Renzo Sigrist, Head of Marketing at Zimmerli. So it's no surprise that Zimmerli sews the finest underwear in the world for its customers.

Closeness thanks to continuous innovation

Pauline Zimmerli-Bäuerlin (1829-1914) is not only the founder and namesake of the Zimmerli company, but also the creator of an entire branch of industry through her inventions. Whether it was the world's first knitting machine for ribbed stitches in the 19th century or the first digital lookbook for retailers and fans and the personalization of underwear in the 21st century, Zimmerli is constantly reinventing itself - and can thus look back on a 150-year tradition.

Zimmerli celebrates with customers for a year

To celebrate its 150th birthday, Zimmerli is dedicating a year to this closeness to people and nature, characterized by intimate relationships. Each month, a different, special Zimmerli relationship takes center stage and is highlighted from different angles. January is all about customer intimacy through innovation, which is why Zimmerli is giving away personalized, handmade shirts made from Sea Island Cotton, the most exclusive cotton in the world.
