About Us
1291 International Corp.
The company was named in reference to the founding date of Switzerland and in the spirit of the founding fathers, who decided to "do their own thing" and over the centuries took their tiny territory to grow into a full-fledged state by forging partnerships with those sharing a common interest.Roland Solenthaler - Founder & Owner
Swiss born Roland Solenthaler started his career at prestigious F&B establishments in Switzerland. He became an Executive Chef at age 20. Principal positions at The Four Seasons Hotels, in Toronto and San Francisco and the Swiss Pavilion Restaurant at the 1986 World Expo in Vancouver led to the appointment of Director Food & Beverage for the opening of The Peninsula Beverly Hills in Los Angeles, California.A framed front page of the New York Magazine titled "how to start own business", fueled Roland Solenthaler's ambition to establish himself as an entrepreneur in New York City. The poster still adorns the Midtown Manhattan office walls and now with a firmly established and growing Corporation to call his own, he gives the next generation a chance to make it.
