Storia e identità di Laboratori Vonderweid

WHO WE ARE

A story that starts from the land and grows over time

We are a company born from a genuine connection with the land, developed over the years through cultivation, processing of raw materials, and the creation of natural products that combine experience, quality, and vision.

WHO WE ARE

Our origin and evolution

  • From Aloe to a broader vision

    Vonderweid’s story began with Aloe, which still represents the company’s most distinctive line and its historical core today.

    Over time, we have built a broader vision around this experience, bringing together cultivation, raw material processing, product development, and the expansion of our range.

  • Origin and Foundation

    Vonderweid's history began in 1997, when Maurizio de Vonderweid started an initial experimental cultivation of Aloe Arborescens along the Trieste coast.

    This initial insight gave shape to the company's most distinctive core: a project built around cultivating Aloe and the desire to realize its potential with seriousness, vision, and continuity over time.

  • Growth and transformation

    Today, Vonderweid is a company that combines agricultural roots, production expertise, and commercial vision.

    Aloe remains the most distinctive product line and the starting point of our story, but the project has expanded over time to include various lines of natural products and supplements, distributed in Italy and abroad.

    A constantly evolving journey, built without losing its connection to the land, the raw material, and the values from which it all began.

History timeline

Vonderweid, over time

From 1997 to today, key milestones that tell the story of how Vonderweid has grown, evolved, and built its identity.

1997

The beginning of the project

Coltivazione di Aloe Arborescens nella storia Vonderweid

The story of Vonderweid begins in 1997, when Maurizio de Vonderweid started an experimental cultivation of Aloe Arborescens on the Trieste coast.

It is from this initial insight that the company’s most distinctive core emerged.

2000

Cultivation is moving to Sicily

To provide the plant with more favorable conditions, in 2000 cultivation was moved to Sicily, to Valderice, just a few meters from the sea.

Here, Aloe finds an ideal environment in which to grow, and the company lays the foundations for its agricultural and production operations.

2001

The first supplements are created, and the Aloe line takes shape

Lavorazione dell’Aloe nel laboratorio Vonderweid

In 2001, we began developing the first Aloe-based supplements, shaping what would become the company’s most distinctive product line.

This marked the beginning of the transformation of the raw material into a true range of products under the Vonderweid name.

2008

New lines and new natural remedies

Over time, the company expands its project and enters a new phase of development. New lines and natural remedies are created, including the colloids line, made possible in part by the introduction of an innovative machine imported from the United States, while the path leading to the development of the Collagen line also begins to take shape.

2015

Cultivation grows, alongside Aloe Vera

In 2015, we expanded cultivation, adding Aloe Vera alongside Aloe Arborescens and further enriching the project dedicated to Aloe.

This was another step in the company’s growth, expanding the raw materials available and strengthening the connection between cultivation and the development of Vonderweid products.

2017

New location and generational transition

In 2017, we purchase and renovate our main headquarters, which still houses the production workshops today and represents the operational heart of the company.

During the same period, Emanuele and Caterina also officially join the company, marking an important generational transition in the development of the Vonderweid project.

2020

New lines and expanded range

In 2020, the company continues to evolve with the launch of new product lines, including Mother Tinctures, Functional Mushrooms, and Detox Products.

The range expands significantly, and the brand becomes increasingly structured around recognizable lines, each with its own identity.
