Swiss Black Powder Factory, also known as the Aubonne Black Powder Mill, was established in 1853. It is the last mill of its sort that still uses hydraulic power in part.
Aubonne is one of the last factories still producing their own charcoal thanks to the meticulous maintenance of the structure housing the carbonizing kiln and stack.
The plant received ISO 9001:2000 certifications in 2002 from the Swiss Technical Services Association (Swiss TS/TUV). The facility is located in Aubonne, a city that has a lake view.
