The story of FRUTIGER is a narrative of Swiss precision and global problem-solving, a journey that began in 1957 when Edwin Frutiger founded the company in Switzerland. Originally established as E. Frutiger + Co., the firm was built on a simple premise: to be a problem-solver in the construction and environmental sectors. It started by importing niche products—like the first scrapedozer into Switzerland—but quickly evolved into a powerhouse of its own innovation.

    At the very heart of their identity is the legendary brand MobyDick. The name stands for more than just size; it represents a "Whale of a Promise" for cost-effectiveness and performance. FRUTIGER transformed the industry in 1996 with the presentation of the world’s first drive-through wheel-washing system, the MobyDick Quick. This innovation cemented their status as the market leader in wheel-washing, dust binding, and demucking, ensuring that construction sites around the world leave the dirt where it belongs—on the site, not on the road.

    This is a story of family legacy and bold expansion. As Jürg and Urs Frutiger took over management, the company didn't just grow; it went global. From moving the headquarters to Winterthur to establishing production facilities in the Czech Republic, China, the USA, and India, FRUTIGER built an international network that ensures Swiss-engineered technology is available locally. They didn't stop at washing systems; they continued to innovate in heavy machinery with the development of the SR 3000 TIGER scrapedozer.

    This is a story of "A Whale of a Promise" kept. Today, FRUTIGER Group is a world market leader headquartered in Switzerland, with a massive production footprint—including a 10,000m² complex in China and a dedicated Assembly & Distribution Center in Arcadia, Florida. Whether it is the MobyDick ONE wheel-washing system or the new generation of Dust Control Cannons, FRUTIGER continues to set the standard for environmental technology in construction.

    Today, the story of FRUTIGER is one of a company that cleared the path for cleaner industries. It is a promise that from the first scrapedozer in the 50s to the advanced dust suppression systems of today, they remain the ultimate problem-solvers for the world's toughest environments.
