Polygal Testimonials

Customers from all over the world trust in Polygal

DKSH is proud to be partnered with Polygal for almost 30 years, providing Swiss-quality hydrocolloids backed up with know-how and innovation. A great partner for us!

I have been working with Polygal for more than 30 years for the Italian food market. Polygal is a really serious company and I have had a fantastic collaboration with them during all these years. Me and my company grew up together with Polygal. I consider Polygal not as a supplier but as a partner/collaborator; some people in Polygal are even friends.

I’m very happy to work with Polygal for the last almost 4 years. Green started in 2018 already with partnership with Polygal. Products are high quality and innovative, and relationship is very open and clear. Still a lot of good things to do together with Polygal.

The Palco & Nutrifit Group and Polygal AG are connected by a business relationship of more than 35 years, which has been built on partnership, quality, reliability and fairness. Sustainability and the constant striving for the best possible quality also connect us for the further common future. The stability in the management of both companies, is also an essential part of a very successful and long-standing cooperation.

We have worked with Polygal for several years and are impressed by the quality of their guar gum and its ability to meet USP standards.

Polygal is a trusted partner in the development of sustainable Personal Care ingredients. Since our first exchange in 2019, Polygal showed a strong commitment to our collaboration and was always full of new ideas to meet the requirements of our customers. We very much value this fruitful partnership and are looking forward to jointly develop more plant-derived ingredients that combine excellent performance with superior sustainability.
