Brand heritage

Zedon was a Swiss brand whose name is an anagram of Donzé. The business traces back to Louis Donzé-Bilat in Saignelégier in the Swiss Jura in 1928, and the Zedon trademark was registered to Donzé Frères & Cie in 1943. The brand was later re-registered in Geneva and was aimed mainly at the French market.
