The TRISA Group (TRI from Triengen and SA from Société Anonyme plc) is a Swiss consumer products company, focused on producing personal hygiene products like oral care, hair care and body care. It was founded in 1887 by six citizens of the municipality of Triengen, in the district of Sursee within the Swiss canton of Lucerne. Trisa employs approximately 1,150 people and generated sales of 232.1 million Swiss francs in 2015. It operates in 80 markets around the world and the company is owned by the fourth generation of Pfenniger family, Andrian Pfenniger and Phillip Pfenniger. On 25 August 1887, six citizens of Triengen found Bürstenfabrik AG Triengen with a share capital of CHF 40,000. A local businessman, Xavier Pfenniger-Vonnarburg becomes the commercial manager. By the start of the 20th century, the company finishes building a brush woods production plant and starts production of toothbrushes, subsequently followed by hairbrushes, cloth brushes, hat brushes, moustache brushes and other equipment for gardening and farming activities. In 1941, Ernst Pfenniger-Häfliger, the second generation of Pfenniger, joins the Bürstenfabrik AG Triengen and takes over as the managing director. Under his leadership, the company replaces its hand drawn production with Hydraulic Tufting machinery and thermoplastic products are introduced. In 1948, Bürstenfabrik AG Triengen changes its name to TRISA (which stems from TRI from Triengen and SA from Société Anonyme plc).
