Switzerland lies in the heart of the famous Alps, where snow-capped mountains meet swirling valleys and crystal-clear lakes that sparkle under the golden sun. From its vibrant cities to its peaceful countryside, this land offers a magical palette of landscapes, cultures, and traditions that captivate visitors. Pure mountain air is essential for producing high-quality infant formula, which begins with pure mountain air.
إذْ أنّ كلّا من الأبقار التي ترعى بحرية وحتّى المواطنين السويسريين المقيمين يُعرفون بأنهم من أصحاب أطول الأعمار على سطح البسيطة، إذ تعتبر سويسرا نسمة من الهواء النقي. وفي مخابر فارماليس الصناعية، نساهم في الحفاظ على جودة الهواء هذه وتحسينها باستخدام الطاقة النظيفة والخضراء من خلال أنظمة الطاقة الكهروضوئية في منشأتنا الإنتاجية الرئيسية في سولجن (Sulgen)، حيث يتم تصنيع معظم التركيبات الغذائية للأطفال. كما نلتزم بالمعايير واللوائح الحكومية السويسرية لضمان أعلى جودة للهواء في منشآتنا.
Switzerland is also famous for its glacial water flowing from the Alps and its large mountain lakes. According to the World Resources Institute, Switzerland has a water stress level of only 0.5%. This means that the country has an abundance of water resources and never experiences water scarcity.
In addition, "only 8% of surface and groundwater, or "blue water," is used for various agricultural activities, compared to approximately 70% compared to the global average," according to SwissMilk. With an average annual rainfall of 1,200 mm (or "green water"), approximately 98% of the total agricultural area is irrigated exclusively with rainwater. This water is part of the natural cycle and is absorbed by grasses and plants, creating ideal natural conditions for livestock farming due to the availability of abundant pasture and fresh water.
Pharmalys' industrial laboratories use water from these fertile lands in their production processes, which is essential for achieving a high-quality infant formula. The water, sourced from the Swiss municipal water supply, is further treated to remove any possible impurities and then boiled to eliminate any harmful bacteria. After treatment, the water is mixed with the other ingredients in our formula in a strictly controlled environment before being packaged and distributed.
Swiss dairy farms are considered among the best in the world, thanks to their clean water, clean air, and other high standards. Switzerland's commitment to protecting its water resources ensures that all residents of the country, including its cows and other living creatures, have access to clean and safe drinking water.
تعيش الأبقار السويسرية حياة مدللة، إذ ترعى في المروج الخضراء خلف ظلال جبال الألب الشاهقة. تملأ أيامها بالرعي والاسترخاء والتفاعل مع باقي الأبقار. هذا ويعتني بها مُلَّاكُها كما لو كانت فردا من عائلتهم، حيث يطلقون عليها أسماء خاصة بكل فرد فيها ويضمنون لها وفرة من الطعام والماء والمأوى.
These cows spend most of their lives on high slopes, typically descending from the mountain pastures in late September or early October, depending on weather conditions and pasture elevation. The cows' descent, known as the "Alpabzug" or "Désalpe," literally "descent from the Alps," is a traditional event in Switzerland marking the end of the summer season.
Swiss farmers treat their cows as they would their children and are committed to sustainable and ethical farming practices. They use sustainable grazing methods and avoid the use of antibiotics and hormones on their cows. Sustainable farming practices are essential for producing sustainable infant formulas. Farmers who adopt these practices are undoubtedly contributing to environmental protection and producing milk free of harmful chemicals.
Thanks to this life of care and love, Swiss cows produce some of the best milk in the world, which is then used to make famous high-end Swiss products such as chocolate, cheese, and, of course, baby formulas made primarily from dried Swiss milk.
Since Swiss cows are primarily grass-fed, meaning they eat only grass and hay, these cows are healthier and produce milk rich in nutrients such as omega-3 fatty acids and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA). Omega-3 fatty acids are essential for brain development and cognitive function in infants. CLA has been shown to boost the immune system and reduce inflammation. With the exception of breast milk, Swiss milk is among the best milks available to infants in the world.
Therefore, it's clear that Switzerland is the ideal place to produce a natural and nutritious infant formula, thanks to this combination of vibrant natural resources. With its clean air, fresh water, lush meadows, and cows that graze year-round on natural green pasture, Switzerland has all the resources necessary to produce the best possible milk for a high-quality infant formula.
That's why we at Pharmalys Industrial Laboratories are proud to call Switzerland home and are committed to sharing the delicious dairy products of this wonderful country with the children of the world.
