Company history
In 1886, Chemische Fabrik Kern & Sandoz started production in the northwest part of the city. Like the other dye factories, it was built outside the former Basel residential quarter on an approximately 11 000-square-meter lot. Ten years after the factory’s foundation, its grounds had expanded to over 63 000 square meters.
