Microsphere’s facility is based in Ticino, Switzerland. At just a 20-minute drive from Lugano and facing the Tresa River, we find ourselves in an idyllic setting. We moved into our current facility in 2010, with new wings added in subsequent years.

Temperature and humidity are fully controlled in our warehouses and we can provide both cooling and freeze storage. Each SKU is labelled with a QR code, for an online identification of quantity and status via ERP. Equipped with automatic movable rack systems, our warehouses benefit from enhanced storage flexibility.
