The Vivi Kola Team
A growing & passionate team that lives and breaths all things Vivi Kola!
Christian Forrer
Founder & CEO
Christian Forrer is the founder and owner of Vivi Kola and its sister company ViCAFE. As he says of himself, the companies are like his children. He built the two companies from scratch with a lot of passion and commitment. As a trained graphic designer, he has an eye for aesthetics and this is reflected in both companies. His heart also beats for adventurous expeditions. Especially the multifaceted Africa fascinates him a lot. On his trips he usually only spends the night in a tent in the wild. He gained the essential knowledge for this through a ranger training in Africa.

Phone: +41 79 287 58 67
Camilo Antezana is the managing director of Vivi Kola AG. He belongs to the old guard and has experienced the revival firsthand. As a young boy, he had his first experience in his grandfather's wine bottling plant. In his sleep, he would talk aloud about fine grape juices. As if he had already known then that he would build up the Vivi Manufactory at a later date. Rumor has it that he still talks in his sleep today - this time about fine Vivi Kola.
