Fuga

Fuga AG was an internationally active Swiss trading company headquartered in Lucerne. Its trading range covered grain and grain by-products, sugar and sugar products, raw coffee, as well as starches and proteins. In 2006 the company generated revenue of around 165 million Swiss francs and employed 35 people. The family business merged with the family business Agrokommerz in January 2021 and has since been continued under the Agrokommerz name. The name Fuga is derived from Fu (Futtermittel, feed) and Ga (Gassmann), reflecting its origins in feed trading. Founded in 1928 by Fritz Kopp-Dober and Anton Gassmann together with other Lucerne entrepreneurs, the company initially traded grain and feed in Switzerland. During the Second World War it was also heavily involved in mining, extracting lignite from 1941 on the Lucerne Sonnenberg. Afterwards it returned to its traditional trading activity, which it expanded in 1954 with the trade in coffee and sugar. In 1965 Fuga built up the distribution of articles for the compound feed industry and developed into a service company. After the death of Fritz Kopp-Dober senior in 1980, his son Fritz Kopp junior, who had joined the company in 1948, took over the management. In 1998 he handed over operational management to a newly formed management board consisting of his son Thomas Kopp and Anton Odermatt, but continued to serve as President of the Board of Directors. Following the merger, the combined business operates under the Agrokommerz brand, which describes itself as down-to-earth, honest and reliable. Agrokommerz's product range includes milling grain, feed grain, feed proteins, soy Hamex, sugar, specialties and additives, roughage and bedding, silages, dried products, and wood pellets. The company maintains good relationships with production regions in Switzerland and Europe, ensuring high delivery readiness for quality and premium wheat, and operates a solid procurement network for feed proteins such as soy meal, soy cake, rapeseed meal, rapeseed cake, grain stillage, corn gluten and others.
