Our ServicesCompany history
Founded in 2007 by Riccardo Midolo as HoloSolutions Switzerland, the company specialized primarily in the design and implementation of holographic solutions. swiss holographic solutions GmbH (LLC) was founded in 2012 with both its headquarters and production facilities in Zurich.
Inspired by the potential of holographic science, the company has risen to today’s challenges and driven specific anti-counterfeiting and authentication solutions forward using nano-optical structures and color-changing materials researched and developed in-house.
Over time, we have expanded our scope, from the production of predominantly OVD-based products to a broad portfolio of security offers and solutions, which are essentially based on innovative applications in the fields of optics, materials, and computer science.
The company became a privately owned stock corporation in 2019 and now operates under the new name ‘advast suisse AG’. The acronym ‘advast’ is derived from ‘advanced security technologies’ and emphasizes the company’s core expertise: developing outstanding solutions and holistic security concepts for extremely high counterfeit protection through innovative security technologies.

Responsibility
The guiding principle for advast suisse AG is that an original item should never be replicated. We therefore never recreate existing holograms and we adhere strictly to existing copyrights, working exclusively with qualified and certified partners who of course also strictly comply with all safety and quality requirements.
Declaration of conformity on conflict materials
Together with our suppliers and partners, we aim for the most accurate traceability possible of the provenance of the materials used in our products and brands in order to ensure we are not using minerals originating from conflict zones. Our suppliers provide us with written declarations that the materials and resources used do not contain any conflict metals mined in the Democratic Republic of Congo or their neighboring states.
