It was founded in 1931 by Balz Zimmermann and aviation pioneer Walter Mittelholzer. The company went bankrupt on October 2, 2001 and ceased operations in March 2002. The company displayed the Swiss cross as its distinctive mark. Nikolaus Schwabe, born in 1926, is a graphic designer from Zurich who designed many posters for the airline Swissair.
