About

Victorinox AG, a global company, was founded by Karl Elsener in 1884 in Ibach-Schwyz, Switzerland. Elsener aimed to combat poverty and unemployment in the region. The company's breakthrough came in 1891 when it supplied the Swiss Army with its first soldier's knife. This led to the development of the Swiss Army Knife in 1897, which became the company's core product. Today, Victorinox has expanded its product range into five categories, maintaining the pioneering spirit of its founder.
