How Cloud 9 Switzerland was born and how it has evolved
A late Friday afternoon in January 2016 was when the founder had the lightbulb moment that gave birth to Cloud 9 Switzerland in July 2017. At that time the founder lived in Jamaica and witnessed the change in Jamaican legislation allowing the medical use of Cannabis and the personal cultivation and use. Cloud 9 Switzerland has evolved from a seed brimming with ideas and inspiration to creating natural consumer products – which include the company’s first flagship product – VIVA Healthy Hemp Premium Swiss Chocolates – to a separate activity in Cannabis based Pharmaceuticals in Jamaica.
Our headquarters are located in Lugano and now has subsidiaries in Jamaica, France and a growing sales representation.
A pool of experts with over 60 years of professional experience working with companies like Nestlé, Unilever, Barry Callebaut, Campari and other world-renowned multinational food and beverage, flavor, water and phyto-pharma industries make up the team at present, led by the passionate dedication and drive of Dr.Francis Scanlan who envisions an enlightened future for all to have better health and wellbeing through naturally beneficial products and created with medicinal herbs, hemp and CBD.
