Editorial The fire is part of the family Creativity Appreciation Passion Matthias Rüegg, President People often ask me what makes Rüegg so successful. That’s a good question, which I am always happy to answer. There are three things: First there’s creativity. That is the desire always to look at things in a different light and search for and risk something new, unknown and unique. For example, Rüegg discovered the firebox that can be sealed with a pane of glass and therefore created the basic conditions for efficient, clean, living room fires. There have been thousands of larger and smaller flashes of genius, from which a living room fire with the unique qualities of Rüegg have ultimately emerged. Secondly, the appreciation that runs as a thread through all of our activities. But first and foremost, there is the appreciation of our customers, employees and business partners, without whom we would not exist. Then there is also the appreciation of natural resources and the careful treatment of our natural basis for life. It is not just the large but also the very small things that shape our prominence and thanks to which we can stand behind
