Swisstrade is delighted to announce that our team is participating in the Push-Up Challenge this June to push for better mental health. From 1-25 June, our team will attempt to complete over 13,000 push-ups to help raise awareness of the increasing number of Australians dying by suicide and to support the Push For Better Foundation, Lifeline and Movember.

It's been a while coming, but international travellers are slowly trickling back into the country. At the same time, many Australians are still choosing to keep their travel domestic. To ensure you stay a step ahead of your competition, the change in season is a good opportunity to refresh your interior spaces and guest amenities. 

Since 1997 Swisstrade has strived to help Australian hotel owners and operators challenge the status quo in their selection of guest room supplies and equipment. Partnering with hoteliers early in the design and development phase allows Swisstrade to share knowledge of the latest trends, brands and products, to guide operators on more sustainable and economical choices, and to impart recommendations that elevate the overall guest journey.

Since its establishment in 1997, sourcing sustainable and eco-friendly hotel supplies and amenities has been a priority for Swisstrade, who recently demonstrated their continued commitment to sustainability practices by becoming a member of Ecotourism Australia.

Dorsett Gold Coast General Manager, Michael Foster, discusses the recent launch of the Dorsett brand on the coast, and how a partnership with Swisstrade is improving the guest experience. As featured in HM Magazine, February 2022 issue.

The last two years have been a major rollercoaster ride for the hotel and hospitality industry due to the covid pandemic, various travel restrictions and the response of our local communities. So, what can we look forward to in 2022? We’ve asked several industry insiders to comment and help us put together our top 6 trends that we can all look forward to in the new year.  

Christmas is a time of giving and being thankful. For most, it’s a time where families come together and enjoy a festive season full of gifts and delicious food. As lovely as this is, it is not however, the same for everyone. As a hospitality supplier, Swisstrade are in a unique position to offer support to Dignity and has been involved with the organisation for over 4 years.

The consumer has been on a rollercoaster in the last year with COVID-19 affecting all our lives; from adapting to a new way of carrying out daily activities to how we plan holidays and other experiences. As a result your hotel guests now have expectations of what a COVID safe environment looks and feels like. 

As featured in HM Magazine, October 2020. Bathroom amenity suppliers are always on the hunt for new labels to offer to hotel partners, with local flavours growing in popularity. 

Swisstrade are supporting new ways the hotel industry approaches sanitisation, with the introduction of “Storm”, the UVD Robot rolling into hotels to keep guests safe during the Covid era. While most hotels that remain open after the outbreak of the pandemic are stepping up cleaning routines by removing nonessential items like decorative pillows and magazines, and disinfecting the TV remote controls, others believe the investment in robots is a necessary step to restore guest confidence.

Since the breakthrough of Swisstrade’s first- generations amenity dispensing system “Press + Wash” during the Sydney ‘Green’ Olympics in 2000, the world has come full circle to embrace our next generations of environmentally sustainable dispenser solutions.

In partnership with ADA Cosmetics International, Swisstrade has international expertise in developing products of the highest quality and safety in cooperation with hotels and hotel chains. We have been successfully producing cosmetic products for 30 years, offering innovative and sustainable dispenser solutions such as pump dispenser system, smart care dispenser system and press + wash dispenser system.
