Nestled among lush green meadows, lakes, and mountains is Unterägeri, Switzerland, home to the Ardo medical head office. This picturesque setting is where all of Ardo’s breast pumps are meticulously assembled by hand, providing you the best breast pump available. In the late 1960s and 1970s, Ardo founder, Werner Kraehenbuehl, who was a long-time CEO of the world’s first breast pump companies, brought the first electric breast pump from Switzerland to the United States. Today, Ardo celebrates 25 years since it was founded by Werner, the pioneer of electric breast pumps.

Still family-owned and family-run in second generation, Ardo is a global company providing moms with breast feeding support, products, and accessories in more than 50 countries. Ardo is the leading manufacturer of true hospital and hospital-grade pumps, with more than 200 hospitals using Ardo hospital pumps, and the number is growing daily.

With Switzerland being the number one country for luxury and quality goods, we’re proud to say our breastfeeding products are Swiss Made. Precision, reliability, and attractive design are core values of this specialist Swiss company. Ardo products are comprehensively certified and meet strict EU guidelines and quality standards, guaranteeing top quality for happy customers nationally and internationally. Each product is subject to extensive quality control before reaching breastfeeding mothers around the world.

As a manufacturer of breastfeeding aids, Ardo supports the practice of breastfeeding with products of the highest quality and functionality. With our breastfeeding products, we offer solutions to breastfeeding difficulties and treat breastfeeding in a holistic and effective manner. Uncompromising compliance with the WHO Code is therefore a fundamental principle for us as an international company.

The international WHO Code of Marketing of Breast-milk Substitutes was introduced to protect the practice of breastfeeding. It governs the advertising of breast milk substitutes, feeding bottles and teats, reducing illness and death rates among babies around the world and making a vital contribution to lowering costs in the healthcare sector.

That is why Ardo meticulously follows the WHO Code and does not promote feeding bottles. We wish to declare clearly and unequivocally that we are committed to our company policy, which observes the WHO Code in its entirety and subscribes to it without compromise.
