Sustainability and cost-effectiveness – no contradiction
The Swiss metal industry has made enormous progress in sustainability and is more energy-efficient than its foreign competitors in many areas. The FRAISA Group is an example of this transformation.
Transitioning to a low-emission business involves costs for companies and is therefore associated with risks. The FRAISA Group’s experience shows that this transition can also be an opportunity if the right approach is followed. This family-owned company is a leading manufacturer of high-performance tools and currently employs around 570 people worldwide. Its customers are companies in sectors such as toolmaking, mechanical processing, medical technology, watchmaking, precision engineering and aviation. FRAISA Group CEO Thomas Nägelin shares his experiences in an interview.
