Media release: Foun­da­tion of the SwissFactory.Group

In Novem­ber 2020, 16 Swiss pri­vate investors founded SwissFactory.Group AG, head­quar­tered in Neuenegg/Bern. The aim of SwissFactory.Group is to use new coop­er­a­tion mod­els, state-of-the-art tech­nolo­gies, and dig­i­tal net­work­ing to pre­vent fur­ther relo­ca­tion of indus­trial pro­duc­tion capac­i­ties to South­ern and East­ern Europe and also to bring orders that have already been “lost” back to Switzer­land — for exam­ple to Neuenegg.

There are around 3000 con­tract man­u­fac­tur­ers in Switzer­land, who often pro­duce parts for larger indus­trial com­pa­nies under high price pres­sure. The Covid 19 cri­sis has fur­ther wors­ened their dif­fi­cult sit­u­a­tion. At the same time, Swiss Fac­tory is a new provider. He relies heav­ily on robotization.
