About us

We are a Swiss social and market research company and, with more than 60 years of company history, are firmly established in Switzerland as a trusted institution.

Currently, more than 40 permanent employees work at our main location in Lucerne (Adligenswil) as well as at our French-speaking location in Fribourg. We offer the full range of social and market research services and methods from a single source, with a strong focus on scientifically sound quantitative and qualitative research on complex topics. In doing so, we can always rely on our academically qualified staff with extensive research and publication experience.

On the one hand, a significant share of our clients comes from the academic and scientific sector. Our social research team conducts a wide range of complex projects for federal authorities such as the :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}, as well as for universities and higher education institutions in Switzerland and abroad. In addition, we apply our social science expertise to ad hoc studies for relevant non-profit organisations, interest groups, associations, and federations.

On the other hand, we have many years of experience in consumer research. Our experienced consumer research department offers the full spectrum of market research methods and supports clients—among others from the retail and insurance sectors—in areas such as concept and product testing, brand image research, and customer and employee surveys, with professionalism and commitment.

Across all projects, we provide a comprehensive survey infrastructure. This ranges from telephone survey centres at both locations and online surveys with complex routing, client-specific designs, and the integration of external tools, images, and videos, to face-to-face interviews conducted via tablets and smartphones, as well as in-house mailing and dispatch services.
