“The overall goal is that our annual survey provides profound & helpful insights into the current situation of the Swiss manufacturing sector. This should support companies, politicians, and researchers in identifying, analyzing, and reacting to trends.”
The survey is now closed and we would like to sincerely thank all participating companies for their valuable contribution to the 9th Swiss Manufacturing Survey!
The general report will be published on September 19, 2025 and made available on our website.
In addition, all participants will receive their personalized report via email.
We truly appreciate your participation and look forward to sharing the results with you soon!
In 2019 we complemented the Swiss Manufacturing Survey with the Swiss Manufacturing Award. It honors one company that has contributed to manufacturing in Switzerland within the previous year in an excellent way. The winner receives the award at the annual St.Gallen Production Management Conference.
The Swiss Manufacturing Survey builds the base for the Award winner selection in a two step process. First, a quantitative pre-selection takes place. We calculate each company’s contribution to manufacturing in Switzerland based on its self-assessment in the Swiss Manufacturing Survey. Financial, manufacturing, and market performance indicators, as well as answers regarding investments in manufacturing capacity and technology in Switzerland, are at the heart of this calculation. Second, a qualitative final-selection takes place. Based on an interview and a case study about the five best-performing companies in the quantitative evaluation, an independent jury selects the winner of the Swiss Manufacturing Award. The second step thereby verifies the self-assessment from the Swiss Manufacturing Survey and determines the contribution to Swiss manufacturing in more detail.
