Why the SwissTechnology label ?

Because BOBST lays claim to, and proudly defends, the quality of Swiss technology, something that is admired and envied around the world. The label is a recognition of formidable roots that extend deep into our past.



For centuries, Switzerland has worked the only resource it has: its wealth. With a tiny and rugged terrain, a lack of raw materials, and no access to the sea, the country has been forced to target its production on high added-value goods and services. With thoroughness and determination, and by creating its own opportunities, perfectionist little Switzerland has made its mark on the world.

But of course, no country can rest on its laurels, particularly one that relies on exports, so Switzerland ceaselessly perfects, develops, and reinvents itself. To achieve this, the country needs to be permanently at the cutting edge of technology and services, to which end it has two prestigious federal institutes of technology and eight major universities - something that is quite exceptional for a population amounting to half that of Paris and its suburbs ! Such investment has proven worthwhile, with the quality of Swiss education, training, science, and research always being held up as an example of the best, and with Switzerland also regularly finding itself among the five top countries in the world in terms of innovation and competitiveness.

With knowledge, know-how, ingenuity, inventiveness, and pragmatism, Switzerland has built up watch-making, textiles, machinery, technology, micro-technology, electronics, and medical equipment into impressive industries. In these fields - as in others such as food, banking, and insurance - there is one trait that prevails: the very highest quality. Today, the "Swiss Made" label is no longer just a mark of geographic origin; it is a brand embodying a sound promise which has acquired its legitimacy down the centuries.



Established in 1890, BOBST is proud to be part of this great history. The company has benefited - and continues to benefit - from the quality of the Swiss workforce, and the country’s tightly-knit industrial fabric. But BOBST also puts back in as much as it takes out.

BOBST is suffused with the values that have built the Swiss technology of today: dependability, a never-ending quest for perfection, and a strong work ethic. Its machines offer precision, reliability, and incomparable durability, and are constantly being updated. Every one is designed for the long term and each proves to be an investment without equal.

BOBST is a brilliant symbol of Swiss technology, and its Swiss technology label pays homage to this formidable heritage, as well as being a commitment to its customers.
