Running a professional kitchen means holding two things to the highest standard simultaneously: the quality of your food and the cleanliness of every surface it touches. A failed HACCP inspection, a hygiene incident, a complaint — any of these can undo years of reputation in a matter of hours. Cleanliness is not optional. It is the foundation everything else rests on.
At LAPA, we supply food service professionals across Switzerland every day — restaurants, hotels, canteens and catering operations. With over 2,000 products in our catalogue, we select every supplier with the same rigour our clients expect from us. For professional cleaning and hygiene, that supplier is Chemical Line Italiana.
A Family Business. Three Generations of Chemical Expertise.
Founded in 1979 by Fausto Zanoni, Chemical Line Italiana was built on deep knowledge of professional cleaning chemistry. It remains a family-owned business — one where formulations are developed in-house and accountability is personal:
- Brother Maurizio strengthened the company’s technical foundation
- Son Valerio, a chemical engineer, expanded production capacity from 1997
- Son Lorenzo brought modern marketing and communications expertise from 2006
In 1996, the company moved to its current premises, adding a dedicated R&D and product formulation laboratory. From 2016, Chemical Line expanded into European markets with an ecological line based on plant-derived raw materials — high-performance cleaning with a reduced environmental footprint.
