History
In 1885, Carl Abegg-Arter (1836-1912) and his son Carl Abegg-Stockar (1860-1943), formed Abegg & Co as successor company to Rübel & Abegg which was a partnership in silk trading started in 1881. The company soon held the various interests and activities of the family and in 1955 was established as corporation and single family office. In 1984, the Müller family (UHAG Übersee-Handel AG, respectively COSA Commerce Outre-Mer SA), married into the Abegg family. This venture established the trade and relations between Switzerland and Japan, representing leading Swiss companies across Asia and North and South America.

Currently, the family is also associated with operating the Honorary Consulate of Japan in Zürich. In more recent history, the Bodmer family, who was a majority owner in the industrial concern Huber+Suhner sold a 10.1% controlling interest stake in 2019, they (respectively the family holding) was the second largest single shareholder.
