SVC Ltd. currently promotes Switzerland as a center for business while also allowing unique Swiss businesses to leverage their “high qualitative standards in niche industries across the world.”

Headquartered in Switzerland and the US, SpecPage, claims to be the only product lifecycle management and product data management process solution vendor uniquely dedicated to the food and beverage industry.

SpecPage’s product lifecycle and product data management process solutions for formula-based food and beverage manufacturers. For almost two decades, the company has sought solutions to help formula-based food and beverage manufacturers produce better quality products for less, while also streamlining and delivering data-driven results that allow producers in the food manufacturing industry to grow and sustain profitability.  

Key benefits of the SVC Ltd. Credit Suisse investment include empowering the expansion of SpecPage’s international business systems, according to the company.
