Awards & Mentions
Our Roots
1974
We can trace our origins back to 1974 in Sierre, Switzerland, where we began as a scientific research company exploring new materials and surface coatings. As we progressed in our research journey, we recognized the potential advantages of a different reinforcement material, placing a strong emphasis on extreme hardness and exceptional thermal conductivity. This realization led us straight to diamonds.
The idea of a diamond-reinforced coating originated in our labs at HORT Coating Center SA, a Swiss company that we co-founded in 1974. Our specialization lies in developing customized coating technologies for various industries, including electrical engineering, chemistry, watchmaking, medicine, and aerospace. Notably, we are the exclusive manufacturing center for Swiss Diamond cookware.
Demand for Premium Cookware
1998
In 1998, as the demand for premium cookware soared, we at Swiss Diamond initiated research for an advanced nonstick coating. Initially, our focus was on enhancing our existing titanium-reinforced coating, with finely ground titanium deemed the optimal choice for reinforcing nonstick surfaces during that period.
However, during our research and development at HORT Coating Center, we recognized the potential advantages of a different reinforcement material. We identified extreme hardness and excellent thermal conductivity as the primary criteria for improvement, leading us straight to diamonds.
After two years of dedicated preliminary testing to determine the best formulation and application process, we introduced the Swiss Diamond coating. This patented coating not only showcases genuine diamond crystals but also incorporates high-quality nonstick components.
Awarded a Gold Medal
1999
Our engineers in the Sierre, Switzerland laboratory developed a groundbreaking method. We combine genuine diamond crystals with a high-quality nonstick composite to achieve superior cookware performance. Our unique technology earned the Swiss Diamond coating a Gold Medal at the 1999 International Exhibition of Inventors. Additionally, we are proud to mention that our coating was honored with the first prize at the International Exhibition of Inventions in Geneva, Switzerland, in 1999.
Started a Revolution
2001 - 2006
Fast forward a few years to 2001, and we, at Swiss Diamond International, came together to manage the production of cast aluminum cookware featuring our diamond-reinforced nonstick coating. After years of dedicated research and exhaustive testing, our team of Swiss Diamond® engineers successfully enhanced our revolutionary coating by 40% overall. This significant improvement led to the receipt of various awards, widespread recognition for our innovative cookware, and the launch of the cookware in the USA and in Australia.
In 2006, we at Swiss Diamond International SA initiated the spin-off of HORT Coating Center SA and redirected our focus to the worldwide marketing and sales of Swiss Diamond cookware.
Strategic Investments
2008 - 2010
In 2008, HORT Coating Center made strategic investments, acquiring a state-of-the-art high-pressure aluminum foundry and doubling its coating lines manufacturing capacity.
In 2010 we, the Swiss Diamond engineers, unveiled the Swiss Diamond HD coating, marking a significant improvement with a 30 percent overall boost in performance. Our efforts and achievements in showcasing entrepreneurial spirit and achieving remarkable growth—54% in just one year—earned Swiss Diamond International the prestigious Swiss Economic Forum award.
