A legacy of craftsmanship

A symbol for the future

A legacy of craftsmanship

The story of Fischer1873 begins in Biel/Bienne, at Faubourg du Jura 6. Two Fischer brothers founded their first textile care factory there. This origin established a principle that continues to define the company today: understanding materials, working precisely, and building trust.

The first factory

At Faubourg du Jura 6, the Fischer family business established its first roots. Textile care was then an accessible craft, characterized by diligence, experience, and a direct connection to the city. From a local workshop, an enduring philosophy emerged: to treat each item with care and return it with respect.

The Handover Through Craftsmanship

Following the Fischer family and Peter Fischer, Beat Schober carries on the story. As a former apprentice of the company, he took over the business with his wife in 1990.
This legacy demonstrates what Fischer1873 stands for: practical knowledge, everyday experience, and a standard learned from within.

BIEL/BIENNE

A City of Precision

Biel/Bienne was shaped by industry, textiles, and watchmaking. This culture of meticulous observation, steady hands, and lasting quality has accompanied Fischer1873 since its beginnings.
Precision here is not merely a stylistic choice. It belongs to the region, to its professions, and to the way materials are handled.

A Symbol with a Future

The logos have changed. The symbol has remained: the clothes hanger. Initially a symbol for cleaning and textile care, today it stands for continuity, precision, and trust.
From Fischer Nettoyage à sec to Fischer1873, the identity has become clearer and calmer. The form changes, the stance remains.

TODAY

Preserving Rather Than Replacing

In an era where many things are quickly replaced, Fischer1873 takes a different stance: properly caring for textiles and extending their lifespan.
Care is more than just a service. It is respect for the material, the craftsmanship, and the items that accompany people in their daily lives.

2026

A New Digital Step

In 2026, Fischer1873 will open a new chapter with the digitization of its services. The commitment to craftsmanship remains, while the experience becomes simpler, smoother, and more accessible.
Online orders, relay points, textile lockers, and simplified processes connect a historical craft with today's expectations.
This legacy demonstrates what Fischer1873 stands for: practical knowledge, everyday experience, and a standard learned from within.
