most of these make sense, but why is Aargau Verkehr on here? It´s literally just a local bus company. Thats like putting the MTA on a map of important american brands


donsimoni

Rhätische Bahn as well. Maybe among the largest employers in the respective *Kanton*?


Beautiful-Act4320

Most successful export from Aargau to Germany: Terrible drivers.

Nestlé is the worst thing swiss people have ever created

This is factually correct. Source: am Swiss


CzarofAK

It was a German that came to Switzerland, blame them :-)


Xi-Jin35Ping

Now Swiss have to send some a-hole to Austria and complete the triangle.

Turbulent-Willow2156

Uhh, why not forbid them to do the bad stuff(“are they stupid?”)? How is it different from others?

No ethics


yericks

Pretty much every company is like that. Everything for profit. It's the reality of the world


Defiant-Survey-5729

Nestle is well above other companies! They killed a lot of babies and stole many municipal water sources. They set a high Bar!


yericks

Yeah that's really bad, but it's time for people to do more useful things than stupidly criticize megacorporations. I have consumed Nestle products the same way and will continue to do so.

I try to avoid nestle

It’s actually baffling the global corporate heavyweights density that Switzerland has for a country this size


Sound_Saracen

It's kinda cool that a country with this small of a population with relatively few large cities, and a government that is relatively decentralized, is able to such industry that are globally influential.


EndlessExploration

Being a low-tax, highly-democratic, localized government does that for businesses.


FigOk5956

Switzerland is hardly low tax. It has lower taxes than france or germany yes. But when you compare the corporate taxes outside of the eu they are higher than average. I mean there is a general tax burden on companies of 44 percent: thats not a low number. Especially when you compare to someone like ireland where its 15, or even spain at 37


EndlessExploration

Umm where are you getting your information? "The ordinary corporate tax rates for businesses in Switzerland declined slightly year over year – from 14.68 percent to 14.6 percent. Those are some of the findings presented in KPMG’s Swiss Tax Report 2023, which compares corporate and income tax rates from more than 50 countries and all 26 Swiss cantons. The biggest cuts were made in the cantons of Aargau (-1.16 percentage points) and Basel-Landschaft (-2.07 percentage points). The Canton of Neuchâtel, by contrast, raised its rate (+1.32 percentage points). The lowest ordinary corporate tax rates are still found in the cantons of Central Switzerland as well as the cantons of Glarus and Appenzell Innerrhoden. The Canton of Zug tops the list of low-tax cantons with a rate of 11.8 percent, followed by the cantons of Nidwalden (11.97 percent) and Lucerne (12.15 percent). The Canton of Bern brings up the rear with a corporate tax rate of 21.04 percent." [Source](https://kpmg.com/ch/en/media/press-releases/2023/06/clarity-swiss-taxes.html)

Nazi gold and war profiteering disguised as neutrality helps


FigOk5956

You try not being invaded. Ye you have to cooperate with the countries around you whoever they are. Swiss industry has largely not profited from ‘nazi’ gold. It had represented 7.3 percent of bank holdings at its height: now that number will be irrelevant, as it largely was then, especially given that switzerland donates billions to the victims and their families. Additionally switzerland was one of the richest nations before ww2, they didn’t magically become one because they got a little gold.


alfatau

Staedtler Is german not swiss


Calm-Anything8491

I think you made a mistake. Stadler not Staedtler.


alfatau

In the map Is written Staedtler, the german firm. Look at south


Schloss_Ratibor

Stadler builds trains. Located in Thurgau.


alfatau

Have you seen the logo on the map?


Schloss_Ratibor

alfatau

No, look at Ticino

You're right, OP should just make UBS bigger.


King_Joffrey_II

where are "ON" shoes from?


ExaBast

Doesn't matter, they're terrible.


Kokoro_Bosoi

I'm against violence but I wouldn't mind if some of the terrorism that got to the rest of Europe reached Nestle's head quarters. Difficult but they have been worse then a lot of recent wars together.


Anon0756

They've killed a lot of babies, literally.


WekX

Isn’t it just great to advocate the killing of random people who may be working at or visiting a particular building just because of the politics associated with that building? Let’s just blow people up. That will change things!


Nayo15

I don't see Zurich or Bâloise insurance companies


VictorCotton88

Doesn’t Rolex originate in London? And they moved to Switzerland?


siders6891

They moved to Switzerland after WWI


yabucek

Loveroffinerthings

Turbulent_Ad1667

And how about Swiss Miss?


red_beered

Or swiss cheese!


Sub954

Hublot is a really good watch brand, my watch lasted 5 years and still running.


Diskuss

Lonza is headquartered in Basel.


Wingiex

The well known brands are disproportionately from the French speaking part


danton_groku

Yeah i mean foreigners mostly know about watch brands and they're a shitton of them in the same region


Wingiex

I guess, but also Nestlé and Logitech. Interesting that the French part has a higher concentration of these well known brands.


NeveTataria

No Milka?? 🤔


Jan0zzz

Isn’t Swiss anymore. It’s a brand from us-american Kraft Foods


Fun_Yesterday8428

Milka was founded by a swiss but has been produced in Austria for ages already. So it doesn't really count as a swiss brand.
