Antonio Colaianni becomes brand ambassador for Kisag

The traditional Swiss brand Kisag is making a strong statement on the gastronomy scene: since February 1, 2026, top Zurich chef Antonio Colaianni has joined the team as an official brand ambassador. Kisag thus combines first-class kitchen technology with the Mediterranean soul of one of the country's most renowned chefs.

Antonio Colaianni is considered a "fixed star" in the Swiss culinary firmament. With his unmistakable signature - a symbiosis of Mediterranean passion with a French base - he has left his mark on institutions such as Ornellaia, Gustav, Mesa and Clouds. His establishments have regularly been awarded up to 17 GaultMillau points and Michelin stars. Today, he delights guests in his current passion project, the fine dining concept "La Cucina Colaianni" and in the "Trattoria Freilager" in Zurich's Freilager district.

Authenticity as a recipe for success

The partnership is no coincidence: Colaianni has been a convinced user of Kisag products for years. In his demanding day-to-day work, he relies on the reliability and precision of Kisag appliances and kitchen gadgets. "Antonio exemplifies exactly the values that Kisag stands for: uncompromising quality, genuine approachability and pure enjoyment," explains Alexander Dischö, Head of Marketing at Kisag. "He is not only an outstanding chef, but also an expert who knows and appreciates our products from daily practice."

Swiss culinary dream team

The new addition closes a strategic gap in Kisag's ambassador portfolio. Together with long-time Kisag expert Rolf Caviezel, the duo now covers the entire culinary spectrum. Antonio Colaianni stands for classic, Mediterranean high-end gastronomy and Rolf Caviezel remains the specialist for molecular cuisine and innovation. "This synergy embodies everything that Kisag stands for - from proven tradition to modern avant-garde", Dischö continues. The aim of the collaboration is to further consolidate Kisag's brand awareness among gourmets and professionals and to promote the joy of precision cooking.

Kisag is an internationally active company with well-known branded products in Swiss quality. As part of the Vebo Group, it works with various local companies that offer sheltered employment. With its table-top cooking products such as rechauds, caquelons, lighters and flambé burners for fondue and raclette, as well as practical kitchen gadgets made of silicone and stainless steel and professional appliances, it delights amateur chefs and restaurateurs alike. At the Bellach site, 26 employees work for over 3000 active customers.
