The wax specialist TOKO developed from a household cleaning products company established in 1916 in Altstätten by Jakob Tobler. The company developed and produced its first wax in 1933. TOKO waxes now enjoy an excellent reputation among skiers, snowboarders and cross-country skiers. The company was purchased by the Mammut Sports Group AG in 2003. In 2009 the production of all waxes and care products was outsourced to the Swiss company Frike AG. 100 % Swiss Made is still guaranteed.
