But as we all know, the year turned out differently. The Swiss-American business relationship had a roaring start. After Q4, 2019, the first quarter of 2020 again saw the US market #1 for Swiss exports, ahead of the German market! Exports to the US grew CHF 974 mio, four times the growth to the EU, while exports to the BRIC countries posted a negative growth of CHF 470 mio. Again, the exports to the USA proved to be the locomotive of the Swiss export industry. As we all know, Q2 Lugano, Annual Dinner, September 17: Franco Polloni Zurich, September 29: J.

    Switzerland and its groups How our country benefits from its major companies Switzerland and its groups An overview of the significance of the groups in Switzerland, the way they operate and the challenges facing them 4 Imprint Publisher: SwissHoldings Federation of Industrial and Service Groups in Switzerland Concept and Project Management: Denise Laufer Production: rubmedia, CH-3084 Wabern Copyright©SwissHoldings Berne, October 2012 SwissHoldings 5 Foreword Despite the difficult economic climate, Switzerland remains one of the world's leading economies. This is due not at least due to the efforts of the groups based in the country. They have created a large number of jobs and training opportunities and account for a substantial portion of the tax income received by the state. Around 1.3 million people are directly employed by multinational enterprises. In addition, they award numerous service and supply contracts to SMEs and in this way, directly or indirectly, provide work for over half of all the people employed in Switzerland. Thus, the groups make a huge contributeion significantly to the Swiss success model for success. This , a model is based primarily based on providing idealoptimum framework conditions for the economy. In order to ensure that the groupsy are able to continue making their contribution to the prosperity of Switzerland, these framework conditions need to remain validin place in the future. Only then will the groupsmultinationals be able to meet the demands placed on them from all sides. In Switzerland's democratic system, these framework conditions are influenced by the citizens of the country. Hence, it is a matter of importance for the groups to give the people a better understanding of their activities and their significance for Switzerland as a business location.

In 2014, we celebrate the 60th anniversary of our company and the people who have contributed to its success. At the same time, we are launching a number of novel solutions supported by a fresh emo- tive branding campaign, centering on the improved quality of life that our products are designed to bring. This is illustrated in the contemporary lifestyle photo- graphs that appear on the reverse side of the historical pictures, and on the front cover. The page thus turns from a past to a future perspective of Straumann. ‘Simply doing more’ means constantly turning pages. In 2013, our company turned many new pages – in leadership, in our workforce, in our approach to customers, in our profitability and value creation – as this Annual Report demonstrates.
