The award is based on the Swiss Manufacturing Survey which was completed by 379 Swiss companies in 2023. The survey is designed to give insights into the current state of Switzerland’s manufacturing sector so as to allow any negative trends or developments to be identified, analyzed, and addressed.

the success story of the Komax Group,” said Matijas Meyer.
