Diversified Industrial
The Diversified industrial sector incorporates engineering and production companies, manufacturing a varied group of products. Highly dynamic, this sector encompasses a wide range of industries, many of which have progressed from traditional manufacturing practices and technologies, to diversify and develop niche products for key markets around the globe.
Switzerland’s manufacturing industry specialises in high-tech, knowledge-based production and enjoys a world-class reputation in producing outstanding high-precision industrial products for diverse applications. Mastering challenges of increasing competition often from emerging markets, as well as fluctuating energy and raw material costs, increasing supply chain complexity due to globalisation, and funding R&D opportunities, will be critical to remain ahead of the competition and retaining the “top spot”.
