12 ViCAP Global AG (ViCAP) is a forwardthinking beverage pacesetter making a huge positive impact on the all-important sector. As the beverage industry supplies us with a plethora of options, sometimes it’s difficult to find a drink that delivers the best of both worlds – excellent flavour with a healthy and nourishing effect. However, with ViCAP the choice is made simple. We have the honour of presenting ViCAP’s contributions for the fourth time as it is awarded in this year’s Healthcare and Pharmaceutical Awards. With ViCAP Global AG established in 2005, and Vicapsystems’ ViCAP solution produced in 2006, the company has been making waves in its realm. Further carving out a path for itself in the beverage industry, ViCAP continues to create and distribute the world’s first and only effective dispenser cap system, in addition to improving the industry’s packaging capabilities. “Our mission is to innovate and produce the most effective dispenser cap system and pioneer the new beverage packaging revolution.” Revolutionising the beverage industry with its technology, ViCAP’s innovative solution is a dispenser sports-cap system which stores and protects vital ingredients until the moment of consumption. Guaranteeing the maximum potency of ingredients, ViCAP delivers essential and nutritional vitamins from inside the cap into the water within the vessel below. This ensures that each drink can be enjoyed at our convenience, without losing precious vitamins. Scientific studies have shown that natural and active ingredients lose their potency when in contact with the base liquid, light sources, and oxygen, which is exactly why ViCAP’s pioneering solution is of utmost importance. This idea also stems from the time Aqua Nova launched a drink containing Q12, which unfortunately had a short shelf life for the efficacy of its vitamins. At this very moment, Vicapsystems came up with the forward thinking idea of its ViCAP solution to not only extend the shelf life but also to supply technology for any company wishing to enhance its product range. Delivering vitamins, without compromising their efficacy, ViCAP is the future of beverages, and health, now. Founded by three Swiss investors – Andreas Schwyn, Conrad Weiss, Roger Wilfinger – Vicapsystems’ history is rich with entrepreneurial spirit and dedication to making the beverage industry a better place. The team conceptualised the idea to separate vitamins from the base liquid from the very beginning so that they could deliver something the industry had never seen before, and something that would add value to the health of the consumer. Forming this strong team, reinforced by the same shared vision, ViCAP continues to produce high quality solutions for a plethora of consumers across the non-alcoholic beverage market. Always understanding the needs of the market, ViCAP goes above and beyond to stay ahead of trends, both current and ongoing, to guarantee only the best products on the market for its customers. ViCAP’s values are centred around functionality, convenience, and sustainability. Each value is held at the very beating heart of the business’ operations, whether that’s day to day or incorporated into long term goals. With over 20 years of innovation and experience, ViCAP still manages to expertly maintain unwavering partnerships with its employees, customers, and suppliers, especially through prioritising its core values every step of the way. ViCAP’s strategic partnership with KA-EX in 2023 has led the company to further success in the beverage industry. From the first phase of the launch strategy to where the company is now, ViCAP’s partnerships have brought it a long way. Working with its partners to achieve more, the business has integrated into the MISTA startup ecosystem alongside gaining the support of food industry giants like Givaudan and Danone. Furthermore, partner KA-EX was previously invited as the sole European startup to the investor meeting of the Nutrition Capital Network (NCN) in San Francisco, a network encompassing prominent corporate venture capitalists in the U.S. food sector, including Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, and other esteemed names. ViCAP itself was proudly recognised as the official supplier to the prestigious House of Athletes in Florida, a training facility frequented by NFL and MLB stars, in years gone by. Together as a team at ViCAP, and with its unwavering partnerships, this multi-award-winning company has truly blossomed in a Healthcare-Focused Beverage Packaging Specialists of the Year 2025 – Switzerland Beautiful Crafters
